The No Fear Act Made Simple is a 19-minute online course that covers the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002, including employee rights under anti-discrimination laws, whistleblower protections, and agency accountability requirements. It is designed for federal government employees and managers and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
The Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation Act of 2002 (No FEAR Act) requires all federal agencies to train employees on their rights under anti-discrimination and whistleblower protection laws. Federal agencies must provide this training within 90 days of a new employee's start date and at least every two years thereafter. In FY 2024, the EEOC received 88,531 new discrimination charges across the federal and private sectors, a 9.2% increase over the prior year, and secured nearly $700 million for more than 21,000 victims of employment discrimination.
This course equips your federal workforce with a clear understanding of their rights and protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, and other applicable statutes. Your employees will learn how to recognize discrimination and retaliation, understand the complaint process, and know the remedies available to them under federal law.
The No FEAR Act (Public Law 107-174) was signed into law on May 15, 2002, and took effect on October 1, 2003. It requires federal agencies to be individually accountable for violations of anti-discrimination and whistleblower protection laws by mandating that agencies reimburse the Judgment Fund for discrimination and retaliation settlements and judgments. Under 5 CFR 724.203, agencies must train all employees within 90 days of hire and provide refresher training at least every two years. Agencies must also post quarterly EEO complaint data on their public websites and submit annual compliance reports to Congress, the EEOC, the Department of Justice, and the Office of Personnel Management. The Elijah E. Cummings Federal Employee Antidiscrimination Act of 2020 strengthened these provisions by requiring additional reporting and accountability measures for findings of discrimination.
