EEOC Issues New Poster Incorporating New GINA Law
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA) takes effect November 21, 2009. GINA, which applies to all entities covered by Title VII, prohibits discrimination in employment based on an employee's (or the employee's family members') genetic information. The Act further prohibits employers, with few exceptions, from requesting or obtaining genetic information about an employee. The EEOC has now issued a revised "EEO Is The Law" poster, incorporating the requirements of GINA. Covered employers should download and post the new poster this November. The new poster is available on the EEOC website and can be accessed here.
