The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has revised its "Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law" poster. The new workplace notice is for use by employers covered by federal civil rights and anti-discrimination laws. The new poster incorporates the requirements of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and changes made by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act (ADAAA).
The revised notice includes information regarding GINA’s ban on employment discrimination based on an individual’s genetic information, which tookeffect on November 21, 2009, and changes made to the ADAAA.
Employers can comply with the posting requirement by printing the "EEO is the Law" poster supplement and posting that alongside EEOC’s September 2002 poster, or by printing and posting the EEOC’s November 2009 version of the poster which you can find here.
If you have any questions about the required employment law posters, please contact Scott Leah at (412) 594-5551 or sleah@tuckerlaw.com.
