EEOC Releases New Poster

By Sally Piefer

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently released a revised "Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law" poster. This new poster incorporates the federal Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 and the federal Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 which becomes effective on November 21, 2009. In addition, the new poster provides updates from the federal Department of Labor.

Employers who have a minimum of 15 or more employees for 20 or more weeks in a calendar year are covered by federal nondiscrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and must display this poster in conspicuous places at the workplace where notices to employees and applicants typically are posted.
