Equal Employment Opportunity Poster Requirement

At the initial inspection, inspectors will note any failure of the builder to prominently display VA Poster 26-83-1, Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law, as a noncompliance item on the inspection report.  Each contractor and subcontractor must display the poster in conspicuous places at job sites covered by VA value notices for proposed construction. 

In all areas with significant concentrations of Spanish-speaking people, VA Poster 26-83-1(S) printed in Spanish, must be displayed next to the poster in English.

When noncompliance with the poster requirement is found, the VA office of jurisdiction will immediately inform the builder that no further inspections will be made until the poster is displayed.

Obtaining Equal Employment Opportunity Posters

VA supplies the poster to the builder with the VA value notice, if issued by the VA.  Although one poster may be used to cover a group of properties being constructed simultaneously by a builder, VA will furnish additional posters needed for adequate coverage. 

Posters are available from the VA Forms and Publications Depot.
