Wisconsin Revises Fair Employment Law Poster

Prohibited Discriminatory Practices Expanded

An employee's refusal to attend a meeting or participate in any communication about religious or political matters cannot be used as grounds for discriminating against them in Wisconsin workplaces.

That pronouncement is the latest addition to Wisconsin's mandatory Fair Employment Law poster, which lists a number of categories that employers are prohibited from using to discriminate against employees or job applicants.

The poster issued by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development now lists 17 specific areas that are off limits from discrimination against employees and job applicants in the workplace.

The law applies to employers, employment agencies, labor unions and licensing agencies.

New Posters Available

A revised Fair Employment Law poster is included in a Wisconsin labor law poster offered by Poster Compliance Center. The poster meets all of the state's labor law posting requirements for general employers.
