Information for Small Businesses

While the information on this page applies to all employers, it has been specifically designed for small businesses which may not have a human resources department or a specialized EEO staff. We realize that the information provided here may not answer all of the questions you may have. This section of the website is not intended to answer all of the sophisticated legal issues that can arise in employment discrimination cases. What we do hope is that this page will help you answer some of the most common questions that employers encounter. Most importantly, we hope to make it easier for you to comply with the anti-discrimination laws and help you in your dealings with the EEOC.
