The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has created a new poster and supplement with information on the employment-related provisions of the Genetic Information Non-Discrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). The revised “EEO is the Law“ poster also includes updates from the Department of Labor.
Federal law requires an employer to post notices describing the laws prohibiting job discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, equal pay, disability, and, and because of GINA, genetic information.
Effective November 21, 2009, Title II of GINA prohibits the use of genetic information in employment and the intentional acquisition of genetic information about applicants and employees.
To comply with the notice requirement, employers can post the EEOC's November version of the poster or post a supplement alongside EEOC's September 2002 “EEO is the Law” poster or OFCCP's August 2008 “EEO is the Law” poster.
Both the new poster and supplement are available on HR.BLR.com.
