GINA

First Major Civil Rights Bill of the New Century - Federal, State and Private Employers Must Comply. New Equal Employment Opportunity Notice Must Now Be Posted as of 11/21/2009

What is GINA? GINA stands for the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act. It is a federal law that prevents employers from collecting or using an employee's genetic information when making hiring, firing, job placement, or promotion decisions.

What do employers need to do in order to comply? All businesses must update their labor law posters.

ADA of 2008

The new EEO notice also includes the ADA of 2008. Until now the ADA amendments were not reflected on the EEO notice, but the EEOC included this change on the revised notice along with the GINA.
