In my opinion, the company becomes MORE liable if they disarm a legally armed citizen. By disarming me and removing my ability to protect myself, they have taken on complete responsibility for my safety.

If I am at work and am not carrying because of the company policy and something happens and I am injured in a situation where I would have been able to defend myself... you can bet yer booties that I will be suing them for failing to protect me after they denied me my legal right to protect myself.

My company policy also prohibits weapons stored in cars - preventing me from carrying during my commute. If I were to obey this foolish requirement and have an incident occur during my commute - I would be suing them for denying me my right to defend myself during my commute.

If this happened a few times, employers would realize that banning all guns is not some miracle cure for lawsuits... and they might stop making these ridiculous policies.

It doesn't need to be a sign. It could be the company policy manual or a web site.

The company that I work for has orientation where someone talks through the policy manual, and I specifically recall them mentioning the no weapons policy, although the written policy does not conform to 30.06.

In any case, they're unlikely to prosecute you if you're caught. Few companies want the publicity. They're more likely to persuade you to quit.

Written notification - in an Employer/Employee relationship does NOT have to comply with PC 30.06 requirements for either Printed or Posted notification.

No special Words, No special requirements. ANYTHING GOES.

Only in terms of whether or not you could/would be fired. Written notification must meet PC30.06 requirements for prosecution.
