Federal law requires postings in workplaces informing individuals of their rights under federal employment discrimination laws. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has published a notice revising its “Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law” poster to reflect changes required by the employment provisions (Title II) of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA), which became effective on November 21, 2009.

The new poster can be found at http://www1.eeoc.gov/employers/poster.cfm.

The poster is available in English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic.

Employers should also update handbook policies to incorporate language concerning GINA.
