The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently
released a new "Know Your Rights" poster that
replaces the previous "EEO is the Law" poster, which
employers with at least 15 employees are required to display in a
conspicuous location in the workplace where notices to applicants
and employees are customarily posted. Although there is no specific
deadline for displaying the updated poster, the EEOC issued FAQs that instruct employers to display the
new poster "within a reasonable amount of time."
The new poster includes several updates, such as clarifying
that sex discrimination includes discrimination based on pregnancy
and related conditions, sexual orientation, or gender identity, and
that harassment is a prohibited form of discrimination.
If you have questions about this new poster or any other
required posters, satisfying the posting obligation for remote
workers, or just want to confirm that you are up-to-date, we are
