- I ran a few searches for stuff like “HR” and “2016 election”
- Lo and behold, this Google thing works

The EEOC cares about small businesses, you guys.
In their quest to survive and eventually thrive, many small businesses do not prioritize EEO compliance. I’m not saying that small businesses purposefully set out to break the law. It’s just that, with a limited budget, HR’s squeaky wheel isn’t the first to get greased.
Perhaps recognizing this reality, yesterday, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission announced (here) that had released a new online resource center designed to help small business owners comply with the laws enforced by EEOC.

Orange Crushed! Jury awards $277,565.44 to a diabetic employee fired for drinking OJ at work
Earlier in the Summer, I blogged here about this federal court opinion, recognizing that a convenience store may have violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by firing a diabetic cashier.

In general terms (I’ll get a little more specific below), the Blacklisting rules require prospective federal contractors and subcontractors to disclose anything that may appear on a laundry list of labor-and-employment-law faux pas.
Last month, the Department of Labor (DOL) and the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council (FAR Council) issued the final rules and guidance implementing the Executive Order.
If you read on, I’ll tell you who’s covered by the Blacklisting rules (hint: lots of government-contractor employers), what they say, and when they take effect. I’ll also include some tips about how you can proactively prepare for these Blacklisting rules now.
