Effective October 1, 2015, the Unemployment Anti-Discrimination Act prohibits discrimination in employment by DC employers on the basis of an individual’s status as unemployed. This prohibition includes considering an applicant’s status as unemployed when making determinations in hiring. The DC Office of Human Rights (OHR) accepts and investigates complaints that allege violations of this Act, and when violations are found, monetary penalties can be imposed.
At this free training for DC business owners, hiring managers, supervisors, and HR staff, OHR staff will explain the requirements of the Unemployment Anti-Discrimination Act and OHR's enforcement process and answer questions from attendees.
RSVP is required. Please be advised that food and drink (besides water) are not allowed in the Old Council Chamber. To request a reasonable accommodation or interpretation, please email [email protected] or call (202) 727-5343 before Dec 3rd.
