Generate Employee / Staff Parking Sign

How to Generate an Employee or Staff Parking Sign

1. Choose Employee or Staff. Pick the word your organization already uses.
2. Enter your company or organization name. Type the name people know, such as Acme Supply Co.
3. Pick a sign color. Choose navy, red or green for the banners, border and symbol.
4. Choose a bottom message. Select Violators Will Be Towed, Unauthorized Vehicles Will Be Towed, Permit Required or Display Permit or Badge.
5. Add hours or a lot name (optional). Type a short line such as Staff Lot B or Mon–Fri 6AM–6PM.
6. Download or copy. Click Download Sign to save a PNG, or Copy Sign to paste it into a document, then print and post it.

Which Employee Parking Message Should You Choose?

• Violators Will Be Towed: warns drivers that vehicles that don't belong may be removed. Check local towing signage rules before using it.
• Unauthorized Vehicles Will Be Towed: a more specific version for lots shared with customers, visitors or neighboring businesses.
• Permit Required: for lots where employees need a parking permit, sticker or hang tag.
• Display Permit or Badge: reminds employees to show their permit or badge in the vehicle.

Tips for Posting an Employee Parking Sign

• Post signs at the entrance to the lot and at the front of the employee spaces, at eye level for drivers.
• Keep the company name short so it can be read from a moving car.
• If employees need a permit or tag, tell them in your onboarding materials where to get one.
• If the lot is shared with customers or other tenants, talk to the property owner before posting employee-only signs.
• Use a laminated or weatherproof print for anything outdoors.
• Accessible (disabled) parking spaces have their own legal signage requirements. Don't use a generic sign for those.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Generate Employee / Staff Parking Sign tool?

It is a free tool from PayToPark that creates a printable Employee Parking or Staff Parking sign in your browser. You choose Employee or Staff wording, enter your company or organization name, pick a sign color and a bottom message such as Permit Required, add optional hours or a lot name, then download or copy the sign as a PNG image.

Is the Employee Parking sign maker free, and do I need an account?

The tool has no payment step and does not require an account. The sign is drawn in your browser, so there is nothing to sign up for or upload.

Should my sign say Employee or Staff?

Both mean the same thing to drivers. Businesses tend to say Employee, while schools, hospitals, churches and nonprofits often say Staff. Pick the word your organization already uses. The Company or Organization Name field takes up to 24 characters, and the optional Hours or Details field adds a line of up to 30 characters, such as Staff Lot B.

What size is the sign I download?

The sign is a portrait PNG that is 800 by 1200 pixels, a 2:3 ratio. It prints sharply at about 4 by 6 inches. Larger prints will look softer, so for big outdoor signs consider having a sign shop reproduce the design.

Can I tow vehicles that park in employee spaces without permission?

Not based on a sign alone. Rules for towing signage, including required wording, size, placement and contact information, vary by state and city. If your lot is shared with other tenants or a landlord, they may have rules of their own. Check your local requirements and any towing company agreement before relying on a sign to enforce towing. Accessible (disabled) parking spaces also have their own legal signage requirements, so this tool is not meant for those.

What other parking signs can I make?

PayToPark has free generators for other signs. Try the Reserved Parking sign generator or the Visitor / Guest Parking sign generator, or use the Pay to Park sign maker to let drivers scan and pay at your lot.
