Maine Human Rights Act - Equal Employment Rights Poster
The Maine Human Rights Act - Equal Employment Rights is a Maine equal opportunity law poster provided for businesses by the Maine Department Of Labor. This is an optional notification, so while it is recommended that businesses hang this poster if relevant to their employees, it is not required by the Department Of Labor.
This mandatory poster is a quick reminder to employers and employees on Maine's equal opportunity laws. It forbids discrimination from employment in several categories and includes information on how to report suspected cases.
