EEOC Releases Updated Workplace Discrimination Poster

On October 19, 2022, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission released an updated "Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal" poster that covered employers under federal law are required to prominently display in the workplace. The poster summarizes protections under various anti-discrimination laws that the EEOC enforces, such as Title VII, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and gives employees information on how to file a charge of workplace discrimination with the EEOC.

Changes made from the previous version of the "Know Your Rights" poster include:

• Uses more straightforward language and formatting;
• Notes that harassment is an employment practice that can be challenged as discriminatory;
