How it works

  1. You send photos

    Poster wall, break room, front entrance, restroom doors, and the wall by the register. Phone photos are fine. We send a short shot list so you don't miss anything.

  2. We check each posting

    Every poster gets matched against the current required list for South Carolina and the federal government, including revision dates. Entrance and restroom signs get checked against ADA basics.

  3. You get a fix list

    A one-page report: what's fine, what's missing, what's outdated, and a link to the free official download or the sign you need. No jargon.

Who's behind this

Upstate Compliance is run by Hunter Babb in Woodruff, South Carolina. It exists because small businesses get mailers saying they owe $300 for a "compliance poster package" that the state and federal agencies give away free.

You won't get a sales pitch for posters here. You get a list of what applies to your business, the official free download for each, and, if you want it, a check of your actual wall from your photos.

Questions

Why is the poster list free?

Because the posters themselves are free. The agencies publish them; the list just tells you which ones apply and links each official download. If you'd like your wall checked afterward, that's the paid part, and it's optional.

Is this one of those poster-mailer scams?

No. Those mailers sell you posters you can download free and imply a fine is coming. We never sell posters, every link goes to the official agency page, and you can call Hunter at (864) 921-3205 before paying anything.

Do I really have to post these if I only have a couple of employees?

The state's published posting list starts at one employee, and most federal posters list no headcount minimum. A few, like FMLA, only apply above a headcount threshold, and the report tells you which ones apply at your size.

Can't I just buy a new all-in-one poster?

You can, and sometimes that's the right fix. But the state and federal posters are free downloads, and a laminated poster from a vendor can be out of date the day it arrives. The audit tells you whether you actually need to replace anything.

Is this a legal opinion?

No. It's a checklist comparison against published posting requirements, done carefully. It is not legal advice and doesn't cover licensing, permits, or employment law beyond the published posting requirements.

What if my photos aren't good enough?

If a shot is unreadable, the report says exactly which photo would settle it; send that one and the report is re-run at no charge. Most problems are glare on a laminated poster; tilting the phone slightly usually fixes it.

Do you come to the store?

No. Photos are faster for you and cheaper for everyone. If you'd rather have someone walk it in person, email and we'll quote it.
