Nothing to see here: OSHA 300A form e-reporting changes

If you follow any HR or compliance news, you may have heard that OSHA is changing their e-reporting requirements starting in January 2024.

E-reporting requirements ring a lot of alarm bells because it's something that our member companies haven't been doing.

Rest assured, you don't have to, and you still won't even with the changing requirements.

Read on if you want to better understand which industries must e-report. Businesses that must report include:

1. Establishments with 20 or more employees in industries listed in an "Appendix A" released by OSHA must submit their 300A summary online. The Appendix A industries do not include the NAICS code that apply to our member companies.

2. All establishments with 250 or more employees must also e-report (if they're required to keep a 300 Log in the first place).

3. Establishments with 100 or more employees in industries listed in OSHA's new Appendix B must also submit several documents online. Again, Appendix B does not include any telecommunications NAICS codes.

Fortunately for our member companies, none of these conditions apply. 

As before, our member companies will still be required to physically post their 300A form from February 1st to April 30th every year in a place where employees congregate, such as a break room or near a water cooler. Many companies choose to keep their 300A up all year long, as there is no requirement to remove it.
