Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
(with Acknowledgment) (CT)

Summary

This template is an equal employment opportunity policy for use by Connecticut employers. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and optional clauses. This template covers key topics for EEO policies including, among others, prohibited discrimination and harassment, reporting policy violations, and enforcement. This policy is intended for private employers and may be included in an employee handbook or distributed as a standalone policy. For a non-jurisdictional employee handbook, see Employee Handbook. Its language has been customized to comply with Connecticut and federal law. As a result, the text of this template differs 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, and Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation Policy Drafting Checklist and 10 Labor and Employment Law § 258.07. For information on Connecticut laws concerning equal employment and non-discrimination, see Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation (CT) and Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act (CFEPA). 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.
