Protections and Transparency in the Workplace Act

Protections and Transparency in the Workplace Act 

This bill requires issuers of securities to disclose regularly information related to claims of

• discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), or national origin;
• discrimination because of age;
• discrimination on the basis of disability;
• discrimination because of genetic information;
• discrimination on the basis of status concerning service in a uniformed service;
• sexual harassment; and
• sexual assault or abuse.

In investigating claims of discrimination or harassment, an issuer must hire an independent, third-party law firm agreed to by all parties involved.

Issuers must implement discrimination and harassment training programs for employees, conduct an annual survey of employees to determine whether employees feel safe, and establish an anonymous whistleblower tip line.
