HR ALERT!

MANDATORY EMPLOYMENT POSTINGS:

On October 23, 2009, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released a new "EEO is the Law" poster which includes information on the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA).

The poster is being updated to include information about GINA, specifically that employers are prohibited from discriminating against applicants and employees on the basis of genetic information or genetic testing. Our Mandatory Employment Posters are being revised to meet compulsory federal guidelines and we are now taking orders.

All covered employers are required to post this new poster with other required posters. Covered employers are all private employers with 15 or more employees and public sector employers.

What Is it!

State and federal law require your company to post up-to-date employee posters. The Illinois Chamber offers a set of two 23-by-30-inch laminated posters that include ALL federal and Illinois manadatory postings, including the following:

• NEW FMLA posting
• NEW federal EEO posting (federal)
•  NEW USERRA posting
• Smoke-Free Illinois notice
• NEW Illinois Workplace Safety and Health posting
• Federal OSHA notice
• Federal Polygraph Protection Act posting
• Unemployment Insurance notice (Illinois)
• Worker's Compensation notice (Illinois)
• Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (minimum wage) posting
• Illinois Department of Labor "omnibus" posting: this contains the Illinois Minimum wage posting, equal pay notice,
• Victims' Economic Security and Safety Act (VESSA) posting
• One Day Rest in Seven Act notice and Illinois child labor information.

Who should order a poster set?

•  Human resource professionals
•  Office managers
• Personnel managers
• Business owners
• Supervisors
• Anyone interested in being in compliance!

Why should I buy a poster set?

Posting requirements are constantly changing and it's the employer's responsibilty to remain informed of these changes and update postings accordingly. If you are not in compliance, it could cost your company thousands of dollars in violation fees. Fines run as high as $17,000! Plus, you could weaken your legal standing in a potential lawsuit because failure to display certain postings could extend the time employees have to file suit against you.
