Personnel Policy and Procedures
15.000 - Equal Employment Opportunity
The County is committed to prohibiting discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, citizenship, height, weight, marital status, or handicap. These factors will not be improperly considered by the County in recruitment, examination, appointment, training, promotion, retention, salary determination, discipline or any other conditions of employment.
The County's Equal Employment Opportunity Plan is designed to promote equal employment opportunities for all, including but not limited to areas of employee selection, promotion, training and development, compensation, termination and disciplinary action. While the County does not use or advocate quotas, it is committed to an annual review of its workforce in relation to the Composition of the local labor market. The County's Human Resources Director shall serve as the designated EEO Officer, with the responsibility for monitoring the performance of all departments under this policy and the Equal Employment Opportunity Plan. The EEO Officer shall report directly to the County Administrator.
Any County employee who raises an equal employment opportunity question or complaint with his or her supervisor will be referred to the EEO Officer. Each County supervisor, department head and elected official is required, as part of their overall job duties, to apply and enforce this policy.
