Another name for the nondiscrimination poster is the “Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Poster.” It is a legal requirement that the poster be put up in a conspicuous spot where it may be seen by both employees and potential candidates for employment. All employers with 15 or more employees are required to display the poster by the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission).
Other posters should be posted at the workplace in addition to the nondiscrimination poster. The OSHA Job Safety and Health: It’s the Law poster is one of many safety and health posters that companies are required to put in the workplace by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This poster reminds workers of their legal entitlement to a safe and healthy workplace as well as their duties to notify their employer of any risks or safety concerns.
The USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) Discrimination Notice Poster is another poster that companies may be obliged to display. This poster provides information on the rights and safeguards against discrimination based on national origin or citizenship status for both employees and job candidates. This poster must be posted in a visible area of the workplace by all employers who use E-Verify.
The “EEO is the Law” poster, which gives information on federal laws that forbid workplace discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability, is another requirement of the EEOC that companies display. This poster must be put up at every workplace with 20 or more employees, and it must be placed prominently so that both staff members and potential employees can see it.
Ensuring that you are in compliance with all legal regulations when it comes to hanging posters and signage in your workplace is crucial for you as an employer. Along with other necessary signs and posters, the nondiscrimination poster reminds workers of their rights and safeguards at work. You may demonstrate to your staff that you are dedicated to offering a secure and discrimination-free workplace by putting these posters up prominently.
The OSHA poster’s price can change based on where you buy it. However, employers can download a free copy of the OSHA poster from the OSHA website or request one by contacting the OSHA office that is closest to them.
