Equal Opportunity

The Company is an equal employment opportunity employer. Every employee has the right to work in surroundings that are free from all forms of unlawful discrimination. The Company will not engage in or tolerate any discrimination in the workplace prohibited by local, state or federal law. Specifically, no employee will be discriminated against on the basis of their race, gender, religion, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, national origin, Veterans status or any other basis prohibited by applicable federal, state or local law.

The Company recognizes that employees with physical or mental conditions, which significantly limit their major life activities, may need reasonable accommodations to enable them to perform their essential job functions. Any employee who believes that they need reasonable accommodation should notify their Supervisor or Management. Although the need for accommodations is determined on a case-by-case basis, generally the Company and the employee engage in an interactive process with the employee’s healthcare provider(s) to confirm the existence of the condition, its limitations in the workplace and possible reasonable accommodations. The employee has an obligation to cooperate with the Company in this process, which may include authorizing the Company to communicate with the employee’s healthcare providers concerning the employee’s condition, its limitations, and possible reasonable accommodations.
