 EEOC Issues New Poster
A revised "Equal Employment Opportunity Is the Law" poster including new
information about GINA (Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008) has been
issued by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The new GINA Title
II regulations are effective Nov. 21, 2009.
This is a mandatory federal change for employers with 15 or more employees.
Title II applies to private and state and local government employers, employment agencies, labor unions, and joint labor-management training programs.
A new section called "Genetics" explains Title II of GINA, which protects
applicants and employees from discrimination based on genetic information,
restricts employers' acquisition and disclosure of genetic information, and
defines genetic information.
You can print off the new paper poster for FREE at:
Please post the updated poster at all your facility locations with your other Labor Law posters.
If you would like to order a laminated full size EEOC poster from ProValue, we will have them available for $12 (plus shipping and handling). This is for the EEOC section only, not the all in one combined federal poster.
