Under state and federal laws, employers are prohibited from discriminating against applicants and employees based upon protected characteristics, (i.e. gender, age, race, and ethnicity, etc.). In January, during his State of the Union address, President Obama vowed that his administration will increase enforcement of equal pay and workplace discrimination laws in 2010. Violations of anti-discrimination laws can result in penalties up to $50,000 per complaint during an employee lawsuit.

For the past three years, the EEOC has reported record levels of discrimination charge filings. To avoid liability during a harassment or discrimination lawsuit, employers must prove in court that they communicated clear anti-discrimination policies and internal complaint procedures to employees. Additionally, all employees, supervisors, and managers should be instructed on what does or doesn’t constitute discrimination, what types of behaviors are prohibited in the workplace, and how to report an offensive incident.

Our updated 2011 All-On-One EEO Anti-Discrimination Poster features policy statements on ten types of workplace discrimination. This poster notifies your employees of their rights and obligations, describes a complaint process as required by law, and can be used in your defense during a discrimination-related investigation or lawsuit. It addresses the following critical workplace discrimination topics: age; genetics; disability; equal pay; national origin; pregnancy; race; religion; sex/gender; and sexual harassment.

Who Needs It

All employers are prohibited by law from discriminating against individuals in protected classes. Employers with less than 15 employees must comply with state and local anti-discrimination laws.
