EEOC Overview for Businesses, Part 2
May 17, 2016, 10AM-11:30AM
North Central Career Center
100 Erdman Way, Leominster, MA
EEOC Investigator, Scott Kelley, will again be the speaker at a North Central Career Center workshop for businesses on May 17th at 10AM. This will be a follow up to the first presentation in January.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is responsible for enforcing federal laws that make it illegal to discriminate against a job applicant or an employee because of the person’s race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. It is also illegal to discriminate against a person because the person complained about discrimination, filed a charge of discrimination, or participated in an employment discrimination investigation or lawsuit.
EEOC also works to prevent discrimination before it occurs through outreach, education and technical assistance programs. Any employer with questions about the laws enforced by EEOC or about compliance with those laws in specific workplace situations should attend this workshop at the Career Center.
