Questions people ask

Is a equal employment opportunity policy a legal requirement?

It rests on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act 1964 and ADA 1990 and ADEA 1967 and Equal Pay Act 1963 and GINA 2008 and PWFA 2023 and EEOC enforcement. Some policies must be written down once a business reaches a certain size or does certain work; others are simply how a tribunal, an inspector or an auditor expects to see that you have thought about it. A clear, dated, signed policy is the evidence either way. Guidance, not legal advice.

Can I change it to suit how we work?

Yes. Inside Work-Lynx it is a starting point: put your company name in, adjust the arrangements to what you actually do, set the review date and publish it. Staff read and acknowledge it on their phones, and you can see who has not.
