New EEO Poster Required by November 21

November 05, 2009

A new federal posting requirement becomes effective November 21. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has revised its "Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law" poster. This new version reflects current federal employment discrimination law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008. The poster also was revised to add information about the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, which also is effective November 21, 2009. The revised poster also includes updates from the Department of Labor.

To comply with the law, print and post the EEOC's 2009 version of the "EEO is the law poster." It can be found at http://www.eeoc.gov/posterform.html.
