[ ] Mandatory federal GINA Law effective 11/21/09We have been getting hammered with calls regarding this.  We have been telling them that there is nothing available at this time but we were in the process of verifying everything.  Is there something we should be saying instead?  Is this a sure thing?  If so, do you have any indicator of when this will be available.  We need to print more Federal posters and I would like to have that as part of the posters if it is needed.  Let me know asap.
Thank you,

  It is my understanding that EEOC will be adding to their Equal Employment Opportunity poster in order to cover GINA.  Unfortunately, they have not come out with the revised poster yet.

    Should we be pitching this on the posters?

    JIM,

    On November 21, 2009, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) of
    2008 which was signed into law on May 21, 2008, will go into effect. This Act
    is intended to prevent employers from discriminating against individuals
    based on genetic tests and information. GINA will require that covered
    entities obtain and post notices informing covered individuals of their
    rights under the law.

    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) poster may change to
    include information about the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, as
    well as the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) poster. All covered employers are
    required to post the most recent EEO notice along with the 5 other required
    Federal Posters.

    Who it affects:

       * all private employers with 15 or more employees

       * certain public sector employers

       * employment agencies and labor organizations

    http://pbcompliance.com/gina09?id=2734053157&L=09fedgina15C&S=GA

    Failure to display all required State and Federal posters can lead to fines
    of up to $17,000.

    Our Complete Compliance Federal poster now combines all SIX mandatory posters
    from all SIX Federal Agencies in one convenient poster, including those
    mentioned above, ensuring you are in compliance. All Complete Compliance
    Federal posters are printed on recycled paper and laminated for extra
    durability.

    Pre-order this poster now to ensure you remain in compliance once the GINA
    regulations go into effect. Call 800-226-2327 and we'll give you a mandatory
    posting consultation for both your Federal and State mandatory posting needs.
