EEOC Revisions

Revised Equal Employment Opportunity Poster Available


The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has revised its "Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law" poster. This new version includes current federal employment discrimination law (including the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008). The poster was revised to add information about the Genetic Information Non-discrimination Act of 2008, which is effective November 21, 2009 as it relates to employment. The revised poster also includes updates from the Department of Labor.

There are several ways for employers to comply with the law:

Print the supplement below and post it alongside EEOC's September 2002 "EEO is the Law" poster or OFCCP's August 2008 "EEO is the Law" poster.
