Lafayette, CA, Aug. 1, 2008 — A new version of the “Equal Employment Opportunity is The Law” poster that must be posted by employers with 15 or more employees has been issued by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs.

The updated required EEO poster has a revision date of August 2008. It includes new information about religious discrimination, an expanded definition of discrimination on the basis of sex to include pregnancy and sexual harassment, and an expanded definition of “equal work” regarding payment of wages to women and men.

Other changes are new information on meeting timelines for filing discrimination charges and a language change regarding reasonable accommodations for employees and applicants with disabilities.

In addition to private employers with 15 employees, this poster is also required for state and local governments and education institutions that employ 15 or more individuals, as well as certain federal contractors and programs receiving federal financial assistance.
