Wisconsin Bone Marrow and Organ Donation Leave Act – New Posting Requirement

The State of Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development has recently released the new Wisconsin Bone Marrow and Organ Donation Leave Act posting. As previously shared in our blog, Wisconsin employers with 50 or more employees must provide employees with up to six weeks of leave in a 12-month period to undergo a bone marrow or organ donation procedure and recovery. Under the law, employees may only take the leave if they have been employed by the same employer for more than 52 weeks and for at least 1,000 hours. Employees are responsible for scheduling the procedure so it does not disrupt the employer’s operations, and must provide an advance notice.

The new posting covering the Bone Marrow and Organ Donation Leave Act must be posted in the workplace by employers with 50 or more employees. Employers with 25 to 50 employees must post a notice describing their own policies with respect to leave for bone marrow and organ donation. Compliance Poster Company has updated the Wisconsin All-On-One^TM Labor Law Poster with the new Bone Marrow and Organ Donation Leave Act posting. To order a copy, click here.
