![HR professional at Axcet HR Solutions reviewing the latest EEOC poster and ensuring compliance with the EEOC 'Know Your Rights' poster in 2025.](https://blog.axcethr.com/hs-fs/hubfs/mandatory-EEOC-poster%20(1).webp?width=1200&height=800&name=mandatory-EEOC-poster%20(1).webp)

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) released a mandatory workplace poster update in late 2022—yet many businesses are still not fully compliant in 2025. The "Know Your Rights: Workplace Discrimination is Illegal" poster replaces the previous "EEO is the Law" version and includes key updates that all employers must acknowledge.

Failure to display the updated EEOC poster could result in penalties, increased legal risk, and employee complaints. Here’s what employers need to know to ensure compliance in 2025.

[![how to avoid or prevent EEOC complaints](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2652187/5a0d218d-6e12-4dca-9ee3-0dd2f2187e5c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2652187/5a0d218d-6e12-4dca-9ee3-0dd2f2187e5c)

## **Who Needs to Post the EEOC 'Know Your Rights' Poster?**

The poster is required for **all employers with 15 or more employees**, including private companies, government agencies, educational institutions, labor unions, and staffing agencies. It must be displayed in a conspicuous location where employees will see it, such as a breakroom or time clock station.

For businesses with remote employees, digital posting is also required. If your company operates without a physical office, you may fulfill the requirement by posting the EEOC Know Your Rights poster exclusively on your company’s website.

The new poster can be [downloaded from the EEOC’s website here](https://www.eeoc.gov/sites/default/files/2022-10/22-088_EEOC_KnowYourRights_10_20.pdf).

## **Key Updates to the EEOC Poster**

The Know Your Rights poster is designed to improve clarity and accessibility. Notable updates include:

- #### **Simplified Language**
  
   Bullet points and plain language make it easier for employees to understand their rights.
- #### **Stronger Harassment Protections**
  
   Harassment is now clearly defined as a form of discrimination. Under the EEOC’s laws, employers may not discriminate based on:
  
    - **Race**
    - **Sex **
    - **Age** (40 and older)
    - **Disability**
    - **Genetic information** (including employer requests for, or purchase, use or disclosure of genetic tests genetic services or family medical history)
    - **Retaliation** for filing a charge, reasonably opposing discrimination or participating in a discrimination lawsuit, investigation or proceeding
- #### **Expanded Coverage for Pregnancy & Disability Protections**
  
   The poster explicitly outlines protections against discrimination based on:  
    
    - Pregnancy and related conditions
    - Disability
- #### **QR Code for Easy Filing**
  
   Employees can scan the QR code to go directly to the EEOC website and file a charge.
- #### **Digital Accessibility**
  
   The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that the poster be accessible to individuals with disabilities. Digital postings must be compliant with accessibility standards.

## [![how to investigate an employee harassment complaint](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2652187/94811065-5ba5-4f0c-b9c4-a1d7a90db2b0.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2652187/94811065-5ba5-4f0c-b9c4-a1d7a90db2b0)

## **What Happens If You Don't Update Your EEOC Poster?**

The EEOC expects compliance "as soon as possible," but many businesses have not yet updated their posters. While there is no hard deadline, failure to post the correct version could result in:

- **Fines or penalties**
- **Increased scrutiny during EEOC investigations**
- **Employee complaints or lawsuits**

If you’re unsure whether your company’s EEOC poster is up to date, now is the time to act.

## Steps Employers Should Take

In addition to posting the new “Know Your Rights Poster,” employers should take steps to train managers and leaders on harassment in the workplace. As previously noted, the EEOC now clearly includes harassment as a form of discrimination, bringing it to the forefront and perhaps increasing the number of harassment claims.
