The No Fear Act of 2002 provides federal employees additional protections against discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower actions. Federal agencies must train employees on the act every two years and within 90 days for new hires. The act mandates agencies to notify employees of their rights, post findings of discrimination, and publish data on complaints and outcomes. Transparency and accountability are central to the act, aiming to strengthen existing laws.Federal agencies must inform all employees and applicants annually about their rights under anti-discrimination and whistleblower laws. This notice can be in paper form, electronic form, or posted on the agency's website. New employees must receive this notification during orientation or within 90 days of hire. The act prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or political affiliation. It protects employees from discrimination in hiring, termination, promotions, performance appraisals, and requests for reasonable accommodations.The Elijah E. Cummings Act of 2021 expanded the No Fear Act by requiring agencies to establish an independent Equal Employment Opportunity Program, track discrimination complaints, note adverse disciplinary actions, and provide public notice of final EEOC findings of discrimination. This act ensures that federal agencies operate without discrimination, treating every employee fairly and upholding their legal rights.
