EEOC Workplace Poster Date and Revision Notice

The EEOC poster page says posted materials are dated in the bottom-right corner. It also states a PWFA effective date, a Title VII posting-penalty amount, and a revision banner. This article reports those page statements only.

This original record-reading guide is a general reading aid, not cited evidence. It does not depict a source record; the article text and source links provide the facts.

Key points

• The EEOC’s poster page instructs employers to confirm posted materials are “dated in the bottom right corner.”
• The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) has been in effect since June 27, 2023, a benchmark date the EEOC page itself supplies for judging whether a poster reflects current law.
• Title VII imposes a monetary penalty, currently $680, on covered employers who fail to post required notices, and that amount is adjusted annually for inflation.
• The EEOC’s poster page currently displays a banner stating its posted documents are undergoing revision under a named executive order.

Poster date location

The EEOC’s poster page is direct about where to find the date that identifies whether a posted notice is current: “Employers should ensure posted materials have the correct materials which are dated in the bottom right corner” (eeoc.gov/poster). If you’re standing in front of the poster at your workplace, this is the single physical detail to check first — a date printed in that specific corner of the document.

PWFA reference date

The EEOC’s page gives one concrete date you can use to sanity-check a poster’s currency: “The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) is in effect June 27, 2023” (eeoc.gov/poster). Because the PWFA became effective on that date, a poster whose bottom-right date predates June 27, 2023 would not reflect a law that was already in force at the time it was printed. This is a reference point supplied by the source page itself, not a general rule about how often posters change.

Title VII penalty

The EEOC’s page also explains why posting the current notice matters in dollar terms: “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 imposes a monetary penalty for covered employers who fail to post these notices. The penalty, currently $680, is adjusted annually for inflation as required by law” (eeoc.gov/poster). That figure — $680 — is the amount stated on the page as of this reading, and the page itself notes it changes yearly with inflation adjustments required by law.

EEOC revision notice

As of this reading, the EEOC’s poster page displays a banner reading: “Documents undergoing revision pursuant to Executive Order: Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism And Restoring Biological Truth To The Federal Government – The White House” (eeoc.gov/poster). This banner is on the EEOC’s own page, meaning the source that defines what “current” looks like is itself telling readers that the documents it hosts are in the process of being revised. Checking the bottom-right date on your workplace poster against what the EEOC’s page currently shows is the most direct way to account for this while the revision is underway.

What this article does not answer

This article only explains how to read the currency signals the EEOC’s poster page itself provides — the bottom-right date, the June 27, 2023 PWFA benchmark, the $680 Title VII posting penalty, and the page’s own revision banner. It does not address whether your specific employer is covered by Title VII, whether any particular treatment you experienced at work was unlawful discrimination, or how to file a discrimination charge with the EEOC — the source page used here does not cover those questions. It also does not address state fair-employment agency posters or their separate coverage thresholds, since the EEOC’s poster page does not discuss state-level posting requirements.
