Louisiana Mandatory Poster Update

• Genetic Discrimination – The posting has been updated to reflect changes pursuant to Senate Bill 200, providing that:
  • Employers must grant one day’s leave from work to obtain genetic testing or preventative cancer screening. The leave is unpaid, but an employer must permit the employee to use other accrued leave.
  • Employees must give 15 days’ notice prior to the leave and make a reasonable effort to schedule the leave so as not to unduly disrupt business operations. An employee is not required to share test results with the employer.
