(1) It shall be the duty of every employer to notify the employer's employees at the time of hiring of the day and place of payment, of the rate of pay, and of any change with respect to any of these items prior to the time of the change. Alternatively, however, every employer shall have the option of giving such notification by posting these facts and keeping them posted conspicuously at or near the place of work where such posted notice can be seen by each employee as the employee comes or goes to the employee's place of work.
(2) Failure to post and to keep posted any notice or failure to give notice as prescribed in this section is a class B misdemeanor.
