Mandatory Federal Poster Change

On October 23, 2009, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released a new Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law poster, which includes information on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA).

The poster was updated to include information about GINA, specifically that employers are prohibited from discriminating against applicants and employees on the basis of genetic information or genetic test results.

All covered employers are required to post the current EEO poster and the other required federal posters. Covered employers are all private employers with 15 or more employees and public sector employers.
