Q: Are some brokerage companies required by law to post an Equal Employment Opportunity poster?
A: Yes. Employers with 15 or more employees during 20 weeks of the year are required to display the poster “Equal Employment Opportunity Is the Law” on their premises. The notice must be posted prominently, where employees and applicants for employment can readily see it.
The notice provides information concerning the laws and procedures for filing complaints of violations of employment laws. The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1601.30, Federal Code 29, states, “Every employer … shall post and keep posted in conspicuous places upon its premises notices in an accessible format … Such notice must be posted in prominent and accessible places where notices to employees, applicants and members are customarily maintained …"
The poster can be downloaded via the U.S. Department of Labor Web site.
