Employment Law Chronicle for Virginia & the District of Columbia

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has issued a revised "Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law" poster describing recent changes in employment law including the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments of 2008 (ADAA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA).

Employers are required to post the notice, which describes federal employment discrimination laws prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, equal pay, disability and genetic information. Copies of the EEOC poster can be requested through the EEOC's website.
