Frequently Asked Questions
Federal and State Labor Law Posters are required notices that must be displayed in workplaces with one or more employees. They inform staff of their rights under federal and state employment laws, including the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) for federal contractors and subcontractors. Posters explain employees’ rights to organize, bargain collectively, and highlight prohibited employer or union actions, along with guidance for contacting the National Labor Relations Board if needed.
Any federal contractor or subcontractor with one or more employees is required to prominently display the employee notice in areas frequented by staff. The poster should be placed alongside other workplace notices so employees can easily see it. For additional details, visit the U.S. Department of Labor at DOL.gov.
Any business with one or more employees must display a current, compliant Federal and State Labor Law Posters in the workplace, as mandated by Federal Law.

A Certificate of Existence is an official document frequently used in business transactions.
It verifies that a corporation or LLC is legally authorized to operate in the state and that all state filing requirements have been met.
This certificate provides formal proof of a business’s existence and includes key details such as its legal name, formation date, and status. It is issued with the official seal of the Georgia Secretary of State.
A Certificate of Existence, also known as a Certificate of Good Standing, is often needed for important business activities such as opening a business bank account, renewing a business license, fulfilling tax and other official requirements, or applying for loans or lines of credit.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN), also known as a Federal Tax ID, is a unique nine digit code assigned by the IRS to identify a business or organization. This number is essential for handling federal taxes, opening business bank accounts, and officially registering your company with the government. Every business is required to have an EIN to operate legally and meet federal obligations.
An EIN is required for key business activities, including hiring employees, opening a business bank account, filing federal taxes, and applying for loans or lines of credit. It acts as your business’s official identification number for all federal and financial purposes.
To keep your business in good standing with the Georgia Department of State, an Annual Registration must be submitted each year. This report keeps your company’s information current in the Division of Corporations’ records, confirming key business details on file.
Even if no updates are needed, the registration still must be filed—it is not a financial statement. Missing the deadline results in a $25 late fee, and if the registration is not completed within 60 days, the state may dissolve or revoke your business. Reinstating it afterward can also involve extra fees.
