New EEOC Compliance Poster Requirement

EEOC Releases New Compliance Poster

Last week, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission published a new version of its "Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law" poster. The poster must be displayed by all employers subject to federal EEO laws, generally meaning those with 15 or more employees. The new poster contains updates addressing the ADA Amendments Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, which takes effect on November 21.

In addition to the new poster, the EEOC has published a supplement that can be placed alongside the 2002 version of the EEO poster. While many private vendors sell these compliance posters to employers, they can also be obtained free of charge through the EEOC's Website,
www.eeoc.gov/posterform.html.
