Some Federal employment laws require that notices be posted in places frequented by employees and/or applicants informing applicants and employees of their rights. The following notices are provided to comply with these laws.

Equal Employment Opportunity Is the Law Anti-Discrimination Notice

"Federal discrimination laws require an employer to post notices describing the Federal laws prohibiting job discrimination based on race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, equal pay, disability and genetic information. Please view the following poster for more information." View the amended language only.

As required by the Governor's Office of Equal Opportunity, the 2012 State of Arizona Non-Discrimination Policy is intended to assist state agencies with the equal opportunity planning process.

E-Verify poster

Federal law requires that all employers verify the identity and employment eligibility of all new employees (including U.S. citizens) within three days of hire.
