An Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) will identify itself by posting its hiring and employment guidelines. Unfortunately, this does not mean they adhere to the laws enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). An EOE must abide by the Equal Employment Opportunity laws that prohibit many types of discrimination in employment and includes hiring and firing processes. To determine if the organization is an EOE, you should know and understand what those laws are. The Equal Employment Opportunity laws were designed to protect workers from discrimination based on race, color, religion, ethnicity, gender, equal pay, pregnancy, age, disability, and most recently, genetic information.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, or gender and requires an employer to make reasonable accommodations for religious practices. The Equal Pay Act of 1962 prohibits an employer from paying different wages to men and women that are doing the same job in a workplace. The Pregnancy Act makes it unlawful to discriminate against a woman due to pregnancy, childbirth, or any medical reason related to her pregnancy. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 protects workers 40 and older from being discriminated against due to their age. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination against a worker with a disability if they are otherwise qualified for the job and reasonable accommodations can be made. The most recent of these laws is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. This law became effective November 19, 2009 and makes it illegal to discriminate against an applicant or employee because of genetic information. This can include the individual’s genetic test or that of a family member or any information about diseases or disorders in their family medical history.
These laws provide a better, safer, more respectable work environment and give each individual an equal opportunity to get and keep a job. If you feel you have been discriminated against, you can file a complaint with the EEOC. They are required to investigate each claim and take appropriate action, if necessary. These same laws also prohibit any type of retaliation against a person filing a complaint of discrimination.
