Missouri has announced they will increase the minimum wage to $7.35 beginning January 1st, 2013

Discrimination in Employment, Housing and Public Accommodations - January 2011

The new posters clarify certain acts that are prohibited by the Human Rights Act. It now explicitly bars discrimination in Job advertisements, Testing, Transfers etc. whereas these were only implied on the previous poster. On the Housing and Public Accommodation posters also add more explicit mention of prohibited discriminatory acts (such as Sexual Harassment or advertising that implies a discriminatory limitation or preference).
The Discrimination in Housing and Public Accommodations, two separate notices, are now to be sold as stand alones. The Housing poster is required for any business engaged in the renting or selling of housing. The Public Accommodations poster is required for any business open to the public. Both posters must be posted in a place visible to the public (customers), not just employees, this is the reason they are now 11x 17 (the required size for all of the Discrimination posters) stand alones.
