The U . S . Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently updated its poster describing federal laws prohibiting job discrimination .
Covered employers should remove the now outdated “ EEO Is the Law ” poster and replace it with the updated “ Know Your Rights ” poster . The “ Know Your Rights ” poster has a revised date of October 20 , 2022 , on the bottom right-hand corner of the second page .
The new poster includes a QR code to make it easier for employees to file a charge of discrimination . The agency also touts the new poster as easier to understand with features such as straightforward language , explanations that harassment is a form of discrimination and sex discrimination includes pregnancy , sexual orientation , and gender identity , and advises employees of federal contractors about equal pay rights .
