Executive Order 11246 (E.O. 11246) prohibits certain federal contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in
employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
This E.O. applies to federal contractors and subcontractors and to federally-assisted construction contractors and subcontractors,
who do over $10,000 in government business in one year. The Executive Order also requires
covered government contractors to take affirmative action to insure that equal opportunity is
provided in all aspects of employment.
The Employment Standards Administration’s
Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs (OFCCP) administers and enforces E.O. 11246.
Poster Requirements
Contractors and subcontractors who hold a single federal contract or subcontract in excess of $10,000
or who hold contracts or subcontracts with the federal government in any 12-month period that have a
total value of more than $10,000 are required to post the EEO notice,
Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law (PDF).
Federal contractors and subcontractors who (1) hold government bills of lading; (2) serve as a
depository of federal funds in any amount; or (3) act as issuing and paying agents for U.S.
savings bonds and notes must also post the EEO notice. The notice must be posted
in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment and
representatives of each labor union with which the covered contractor or
subcontractor has a collective bargaining agreement, such as, the personnel
office, work-out facility, lunchroom, or company bulletin board. There is no particular size requirement.
The poster is also available in
Spanish and
Chinese.
Posting of the notice in other languages is not required.
OFCCP recognizes that there are differences between its poster and the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) poster. Despite these differences, both posters
are accepted as valid by OFCCP and EEOC.

hours the AAP may be obtained. Additionally, the policy statement required by
the 503 AAP must be posted on company bulletin boards so that applicants and
employees with disabilities are informed of the contents of the policy statement
(for example, the contractor may have the statement read to a visually disabled
individual, or may lower the posted notice so that it may be read by a person in
a wheelchair).
