EEOC Poster mystery SOLVED! (Plus, don’t forget about today’s free Zoom at Noon ET.)

I got an email last night from a U.S. Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission Commissioner. That email explained why the new “Know Your Rights” Poster that the EEOC touted in a new release was nowhere to be found for much of the day yesterday.

The EEOC uploaded a version of the poster on October 19, later replaced and superseded by a new, current version uploaded on October 20. Covered employers should disregard the old one and post the new one instead.

What’s the big difference? The EEOC updated a bullet on the first page from “Failure to provide reasonable accommodation for a disability or a sincerely held religious observance or practice” to “Failure to provide reasonable accommodation for a disability or a sincerely held religious belief, observance or practice.”

You can also tell them apart by looking for the “Revised 10/20/2022” at the bottom of the second page of the corrected version.

Whew! You can sleep easier tonight.

Also, you can still register to join me and my partners, Amy Epstein Gluck, and Justin Nahama, on Zoom today at Noon ET for a one-hour discussion on employee mental health and wellbeing. It’s free.
