EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY STATEMENT

It is the policy of this company that no employee or applicant will be discriminated against because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, genetic information, disability, gender identify, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other protected status under applicable federal, state or local laws. This company will consider all individuals for any position for which they are qualified and able to perform. It is also the policy of this company to administer all phases of its personnel activity, including recruitment, hiring, placement, upgrading, training, promotion, transfer, separation, recall, compensation, benefits, education, recreation, and all other conditions or privileges of employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, genetic information, disability, gender identify, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other protected status under applicable federal, state or local laws. Sexual harassment or any other kind of harassment including harassment based on sexual orientation will not be tolerated.

This company is a government contractor and is subject to Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 which require government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and protected veterans.

An individual with a disability is a person who has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities. If you have such a disability or are a disabled veteran and want to be considered under the Affirmative Action Programs or if you have questions about the programs, please contact our EEO Coordinator. Submission of this information is voluntary and refusal to provide it will not subject you to discharge or disciplinary treatment. Information obtained concerning individuals will be kept confidential except that (i) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of individuals with disabilities and regarding necessary accommodations, (ii) medical and safety personnel may be informed, when and to the extent appropriate, if the condition might require emergency treatment, and (iii) government officials investigating compliance with the Acts shall be informed.

Employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have engaged in or may engage in any of the following activities:

  1. Filing a complaint;
  2. Assisting or participating in an investigation, compliance evaluation, hearing, or any other activity related to the administration of the affirmative action provisions of Executive Order 11246; Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 (VEVRAA), as amended, or any other Federal, State, or local law requiring equal opportunity for minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, or protected veterans;
  3. Opposing any act or practice made unlawful by those regulations; or
  4. Exercising any other right protected by those Orders, Acts or their implementing regulations.

This company has developed written Affirmative Action Plans for minorities, women, people with disabilities, and protected veterans. The Plans are available for review during regular business hours. At this company Kimberly Stouffer is responsible for administering the Affirmative Action Programs. This person is also responsible for conducting an analysis of all personnel actions to ensure equal opportunity and for submitting reports on the progress of our equal opportunity efforts. Employees or applicants who feel they have been discriminated against should contact this person.

We request the support of all employees in accomplishing equal employment opportunity.
