EEO:成为机会均等的雇主所需的一切

An Equal Opportunity Employer is an organization that agrees not to discriminate against any employee or job applicant because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, physical or mental disability, or age. In other words, an Equal Employment Opportunity is given to everyone when they’re considered for various employment decisions and receive fair, unbiased treatment in the workplace.

EEO guidelines: How to be an equal opportunity employer

Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) refers to fair, unbiased treatment in the workplace. Employers are prohibited from discriminating against existing or potential employees based on protected characteristics, including:

  • 种族 /颜色
  • 国籍 /民族
  • Religion
  • 年龄
  • 性 /性别 /性取向
  • 病史

在美国,公司需要遵守平等就业机会委员会(EEOC)的法规,该法规是执行一组联邦EEO法律的监管机构。这些法规适用于每种工作状况;例如,当雇主雇用,终止,补偿,促进和培训雇员时。歧视抱怨歧视的人也是非法的。

大多数拥有15名员工或更多员工的公司在法律上有义务遵守平等的就业机会法。这些包括:

  • 1964年《民权法》第七章(第七章)
  • The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA)
  • The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA)
  • 1990年《美国残疾人法》的标题(ADA)
  • 2008年的《遗传信息非歧视法》(GINA)

此外,1972年的《平等就业机会法》赋予了EEOC在联邦法院提起非法,歧视性就业惯例的权力。

证明符合可行的

提交EEO-1报告

One of the regulations you need to comply with once your teams grow – and, at the same time, one of the biggest pain points HR departments in the US have to face – is the dreaded EEO-1 report.

EEOC使符合某些标准(主要与员工数量和公司运营有关的公司)的公司必须填写一项合规性调查,并通过种族/民族,性​​别和职位类别列出就业数据。这是必须每年提交的EEO-1报告。对于2019年,截止日期已延长至5月31日。请注意,EEO-1组件2中包含的额外小时和付费数据将在2019年9月30日之前到2019年9月30日。

提交EEO-1报告可能会使人力资源团队和雇主感到头疼,因为他们需要准确收集和报告就业数据。任何错误都可能导致罚款甚至更严重的法律麻烦(例如监禁)。在开始填写报告之前,在截止日期到期之前,请检查我们的详细指南以了解您是否是否need to submit an EEO-1 reportand how to do it. It might also be useful to take a look at thisEEO类别的底漆了解不同的工作分类。

Complying with EEOC

尽管均等机会法的目的可能很明确,但您需要遵循的要求以及您需要设定的行动计划可能并不总是如此。误解,不准确或与常规程序的小偏差可能会给您带来EEO投诉。另外,您处理此投诉的方式至关重要,因为它可能会变成诉讼。为了帮助您避免法律后果,我们探索了公司时公司犯的六个最常见的错误facing EEOC charges- 而您应该做什么。

撰写EEO声明

除了EEO-1报告外,EEOC还必须使某些公司包括机会平等的雇主声明在他们的工作广告中。这可以像一句话一样简单,您宣布您是机会均等的雇主,并且遵循非歧视性做法。

即使您没有法律的义务,最好在您的工作广告和职业页面中提出非正式的EEO声明,这会促使来自代表性不足的团体的人们申请,并会说您的价值观。这是求职者访问可行的职业页面时所看到的:

机会均等雇主声明:可行的职业页面

However, an equal opportunity employment statement is not a guarantee of an unbiased work environment. This is something that should be reflected in every process you have before, during and after you hire employees; in other words, if you’re talking the talk, you need to walk the walk.

The importance of being an equal opportunity employer

工作场所的平等超出了EEO法律。这不仅是关于提交EEO-1报告并遵守法规。存在这些法律只是为了确保您的公司确实对员工的待遇确实得到公平。但是为什么这很重要?公司为什么首先要费心执行平等?

Is it the right thing to do or are there any business gains? Both. The equal opportunity employer meaning is deep. Yes, not discriminating against employees is the right thing to do, but not from a philanthropic perspective. Our societies consist of people with disabilities, people of different color or nationality, people of different gender and age. These characteristics have nothing to do with their ability to do a job. So, it’s our responsibility as employers to give equal chances to everyone: fair treatment during the hiring process, objective evaluations and rewards, equal pay.

但是,当企业采用平等机会就业惯例时,企业也有一些胜利。作为Matt Alder put it:

我们不必再为多样性提供业务案例。

与同质团队相比,不同的团体更成功,因为它们在桌子上带来了不同的观点,他们更准确地反映了社会和市场,并且可以利用其独特的能力来完成更好的事情。因此,通过消除所有人的偏见来取消雇主来解开这一潜力selection and evaluation procedures, by refraining from问非法面试问题并通过培训员工互相尊重和客观地对待。

我们编写了一个指南,并提供了其他想法,可以帮助您公平雇用和管理员工。你也可以使用这个样本平等机会雇主政策to set up your own EEO guidelines. There might not be a law that explicitly obliges you to train your teams against bias or to write down anti-discriminatory policies, but there’s a moral and business incentive that drives you towards that direction, into being a真的平等雇主。

Frequently asked questions

平等机会雇主是什么意思?

An equal opportunity employer is an organization that agrees not to discriminate against any employee or job applicant because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, physical or mental disability, or age.

Is everyone an equal opportunity employer?

大多数雇主还必须遵守劳动法,并遵循美国平等就业机会委员会(EEOC)制定的反歧视指南。但是,信不信由你,这一规则有例外,因此,并不是该国的所有业务都是机会均等的雇主。

平等就业机会的例子是什么?

Another example of an equal opportunity employment issue is wages. Paying someone less because of discrimination is unacceptable. If someone is doing the same work just as well as another staff member, they should be getting paid the same for that work. That's regardless of gender, age, and other factors.
