Effective January 4, 2024, posters are revised with expanded online hours to apply for unemployment benefits and other improvements including where to find help.
All employers covered by Wisconsin's Unemployment Insurance (UI) law are required to display posters in each workplace in a suitable location where all employees will readily see them (e.g., on bulletin boards, near time clocks, work website).
If you do not have a permanent location regularly accessed by employees, share directly with each person.
Posters are supplied in English, Spanish and Hmong languages. Abbreviated instructions are also provided in seven other languages.
