Equal Employment Opportunity
Policy Statement
The Board's policy is to provide equal opportunity in employment for all persons. Thus, consistent with applicable law, the Board prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information, and promotes the full realization of equal employment opportunity (EEO) through a continuing affirmative program. The Board also prohibits discrimination on the basis of any application, membership, or service in the uniformed services. In addition, as a matter of policy and although it is not required by law, the Board prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation.
Discriminatory Workplace Harassment
Policy Statement
Discriminatory harassment will not be tolerated. The Board's policy is to prevent any discriminatory harassment even if the behavior does not violate the law--that is, it is not objectively severe or pervasive. Because the Board wishes to prevent all discriminatory harassment and to encourage reporting of discriminatory harassment before it becomes severe or pervasive, the Board has established this policy both to encourage the reporting of discriminatory harassment and to clarify that any employee who engages in discriminatory harassment may face disciplinary action. The Board policy is to (1) provide all employees with a work environment that is free from discriminatory harassment, (2) thoroughly and promptly investigate all complaints of discriminatory harassment, and (3) effect appropriate discipline if discriminatory harassment is found to have occurred. Sexual harassment is one form of discriminatory harassment.
Employment of Persons with Disabilities
Policy Statement
The Board complies with the reasonable-accommodation requirements of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the federal government's equivalent of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as the Board's Rules Regarding Equal Opportunity (12 CFR § 268). Accordingly, this policy establishes the procedures for providing (1) qualified individuals with disabilities reasonable accommodations to enable them to perform the essential functions of their jobs, (2) employees with disabilities reasonable accommodations to ensure equal benefits and privileges of employment, and (3) job applicants with disabilities reasonable accommodations to assist them in applying for jobs at the Board.
