It's my two-year anniversary at work and I received a plaque saying " 2 Year's Service." I'm not sure if there should be an apostrophe in there, but if there is, wouldn't it be after the s: "2 Years' Service?"

~2 Years of Service~ or ~2 Years' Service~ would have been correct.

Give back the plaque and ask that it be re-done. It's wrong. Fancy giving anyone a thing like that with such a basic mistake!
It should read "2 Years' Service" or "2 Years Service" (it's acceptable to leave out apostrophes in cases like that, unless you are a real stickler, but "2 Year's Service" is absolutely, definitely wrong, wrong, wrong.)

I agree that the apostrophe should go AFTER the "s", as in the service of two years. Though I think it might have been best to do: 2 Years of Service and just pay the extra 50 cents!!

2 years service is correct answer.
Year's is an abbreviation for year is. Apostrophes are used to abbreviate words.
