Back in November 2011 Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick signed into law legislation outlawing employment discrimination based on gender identity. Massachusetts House Bill 3810, made gender identity a protected category under Massachusetts nondiscrimination statutes. It also added gender identity as a protected category to several laws to protect individuals from harassment and other hate-related crimes. With the signage of HB 3810 Massachusetts became the 16th state to protect transgendered people. Great news — MCAD has released the long-awaited updates to the mandatory Fair Employment in Massachusetts workplace poster.
Compliance Poster Company has updated its Massachusetts State and Federal All-On-One™ poster with this mandatory change. Also, if you have an up-to-date Massachusetts All-On-One poster we have the Fair Employment Peel ‘N Post update overlay available for purchase. The update overlay is a cost-saving option to bring your company’s poster into compliance.
