ReSOURCE Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

Equal Employment Opportunity Commitment:

ReSOURCE is committed to providing equal opportunity to all qualified persons regardless of race, color, age, sex, marital status, pregnancy, religion, creed, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation, gender identification, citizenship, genetics, or any other protected characteristic under law. ReSOURCE also provides reasonable accommodations to qualified disabled persons or persons with protected medical conditions to the extent required by law.

The Board of Directors has issued the following policy stating ReSOURCE’s views on this matter:

It is the policy of ReSOURCE to comply with all the relevant and applicable provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).We will not discriminate against any qualified employee or job applicant with respect to any terms, privileges, or conditions of employment because of a person’s physical or mental disability. We will also consider a reasonable accommodation whenever possible for all employees or applicants with disabilities. However, in all cases, an individual must be otherwise qualified to safely and effectively perform the essential functions and assignments connected with the job and any accommodations made must not impose an undue hardship on the organization, in conformance with state and federal laws.

An employee who requires an accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job should contact the HR & Training Director and request such an accommodation. The individual with the disability should specify what accommodations he or she needs to perform the job. ReSOURCE will then conduct an investigation to identify barriers for the employee to performing the job, and possible accommodations, if any, which will help resolve the limitation. If the accommodation is reasonable and will not impose an undue hardship, ReSOURCE will make the accommodation.

Management is primarily responsible for seeing that our equal employment opportunity policies are implemented, but all members of the staff share in the responsibility for assuring that by their personal actions the policies are followed. Any employees, including managers, responsible for or involved in discriminatory practices or actions will be subject to termination.

Equal Opportunity Is the Law:

It is against the law for ReSOURCE, a recipient of Federal financial assistance to discriminate on the following bases:against any individual in the United States, on the basis of race,color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, political affiliation or belief; and against any beneficiary of programs financially assisted under Title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (WIA), on the basis of the beneficiary’s citizenship/status as a lawfully admitted immigrant authorized to work in the United States, or his or her participation in any WIA Title I-financially assisted program or activity.

ReSOURCE must not discriminate in any of the following areas: deciding who will be admitted, or have access, to any WIA Title I- financially assisted program or activity; providing opportunities in, or treating any person with regard to, such a program or activity; or making employment decisions in the administration of, or in connection with, such a program or activity.
