Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Poster (English)
Required

The Equal Employment Opportunity Poster (English) is a workplace posters poster by the Federal Department Of Labor. This is a mandatory posting for all employers in the United States, and businesses who fail to comply may be subject to fines or sanctions.
This poster, by the Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), describes protections that individuals have from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, age, sex discrimination (paying less to men or women when performing equal work for the same job) and genetics. The poster also describes how workers are protected from employers seeking to retaliate after a claim of discrimination is made.
Most federal Equal Employment Opportunity laws apply to most employers with 15 or more employees. Other EEOC laws such as the Equal Pay Act (EPA) apply to virtually all employers. This "EEO Is The Law" poster is required to be displayed by all covered companies. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) further requires that this notice be displayed in a handicap-accessible area.
