Such notices must be posted in prominent and accessible places where notices to employees, applicants, and members are customarily maintained. 29 CFR 1601.30(a). Failure to comply with this posting requirement is subject to penalty pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Adjustment Act, as amended. 29 CFR 1601.30(b). On average, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC or Commission) issues fewer than 60 posting notice violations annually.

A final rule was published in the Federal Register on May 16, 1997, at 62 FR 26934, which raised the maximum penalty per violation from $100 to $110. The EEOC’s second adjustment, made pursuant to the FCPIA Act, as amended by the DCIA, was published in the Federal Register on March 19, 2014, at 79 FR 15220 and raised the maximum penalty per violation from $110 to $210.
