Proving that
there is never a dull moment in the world of employment law, the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced on October
22, 2009 that it has revised its poster entitled “Equal
Employment Opportunity is the Law,” which employers covered
by federal antidiscrimination laws are required to post in the
workplace.
The
new poster cites to both the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination
Act (GINA), which contains antidiscrimination provisions effective
November 21, 2009, and the Americans with Disabilities Amendments
Act (ADAAA), which became effective on January 1, 2009. Additionally,
the revised version of the poster includes updates from the
Department of Labor.
