EEO Taglines

Asked By Anonymous on Aug 31, 2023

When it comes to EEO Taglines, if an employer chooses to do the long version does it preclude them from being able to use the abbreviated version OR can both be used so long as they are compliant?

If you at times use the abbreviated version instead of the long version, you are still in compliance.
