Connecticut Labor Law Poster: Discrimination Notice Expanded, Updated

Oct 4, 2011

The Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities has updated the state's "Discrimination is Illegal" notice.

According to the agency,  "gender identity or expression" has now been added to the list of protected classes under Employment, Housing and Public Accommodations, and Credit Transactions.

Other changes include the term "intellectual disability" added to list of protected classes under Employment. Per the agency, this change is mandatory and all employers are required to replace their old posters dated 06/24/11 with the current version dated 10/1/11.

Personnel Concepts compliance update subscribers will receive the updated panel with their next mailing. Others may call Customer Service at (800) 333-3795 to inquire about obtaining one.
