Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (AL)

Summary

This template is an equal employment opportunity policy (with acknowledgment) and covers key topics for EEO policies including, among others, prohibited discrimination and harassment, reporting policy violations, and enforcement. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional clauses. This template is intended for private employers. Employers may include this policy in an employee handbook or distribute it as a standalone policy. Alabama does not have state laws governing equal employment opportunity policy as a result this template does not differ from the non-jurisdictional Equal Employment Opportunity Policy (with Acknowledgment). For information on equal employment and non-discrimination issues, see Equal Employment Opportunity / Non-discrimination Policies: Key Drafting Tips, Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Policy Drafting Checklist and Labor and Employment Law § 258.07. For additional equal employment opportunity forms, see Equal Employment Opportunity / Non-discrimination Policy Harassment and EEO Policy Acknowledgment, and Employment Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Investigation Determination Form. For state-specific laws concerning discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, see the Equal Opportunity column of the Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation State Practice Notes Chart.
