The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently published a final rule increasing the civil penalty for violation of the notice posting requirements in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA).

The penalty, adjusted for inflation under the Federal Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990, as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, is increasing from $100 per violation to $210, effective April 18, 2014. Only violations that occur after the effective date will be subject to the increase.

The EEOC's final rule is a good reminder for employers, employment agencies and labor organizations to review their federal, state and local notice posting requirements. Practical Law has a collection of resources to help employers comply with their posting obligations. For more information about federal notice posting requirements, see the following key resources:
