New Mexico Employers – it’s time to comply!

New Mexico has updated two mandatory labor law notices:
  1. New Mexico Minimum Wage Notice –Updated summary of the most pertinent provisions of the Minimum Wage Law
  2. New Mexico Workers’ Comp Notice -Updated web address of the Workers’ Compensation Administration

What changed?
  • Minimum Wage – The posting has been rewritten and reformatted to clearly and concisely describe the rights and protections employees should be aware of, such as the right to overtime pay, tipped workers’ minimum wages, the prohibition of retaliation against an employee asserting a wage claim, and the right to recover damages for wage violations. Employees are also informed of localities with higher minimum wage rates.
  • Workers’ Compensation – The “www” prefix has been replaced with the “https://” secure server prefix.  The prior website address is no longer operational.  The Workers’ Compensation Administration has resources for employers and employees, including data exchange, helpful FAQ sections and downloadable guidebooks.
Who must post the updated notices?
All employers employing one or more employees are required to post the effective minimum wage notice. (NMSA Sec. 50-4-25.) All New Mexico employers employing three or more workers are required to post the effective Workers’ Compensation notice. (NMSA Sec. 52-1-29).
