I read an article in the Asheville, North Carolina, Citizen-Times that bears repeating for Tennessee employers. The article, headlined NC Labor Department Warns Businesses of Poster Scams reminds employers that they need to be wary of "private poster companies [who try] to make a buck off businesses by threatening them with huge fines" including, recently by email and phone solicitations.
North Carolina provides posters to employers free of charge.
Tennessee does as well. The Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development provides downloadable posters on its website: http://www.state.tn.us/labor-wfd/poster.htm
The U.S. Department of Labor provides downloadable posters for the employment laws it administers at http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/osdbu/sbrefa/poster/matrix.htm.
The EEOC will provide posters free of charge at http://www1.eeoc.gov/employers/poster.cfm but it also permits fee downloads of printable posters. The current one (November 2009) poster is available at: http://www1.eeoc.gov/employers/upload/eeoc_self_print_poster.pdf
You may prefer the commercially available posters (which seem to run about $30 dollars) but there are free alternatives. The main point, however, is not to taken in with threats of fines.
