[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Grafton by Ord. No. A-012-91, 1991 (Title 2, Ch. 2.47, of the 1979 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
It shall be the general policy of the Village to recruit and
select the most qualified persons for any and all positions within
Village government. This shall include full-time, part-time and limited
term appointments. Recruitment and selection shall be done in an affirmative
manner to ensure open competition, provide equal opportunity and prohibit
discrimination because of race, color, religion, creed, sex, sexual
preference, national origin, ancestry, political belief, physical
or mental handicap or marital status. The goal of this policy is that
persons of disadvantaged groups be fairly represented by the Village's
work force and that promotional opportunities are provided for all
qualified employees.
The Village Board, as the duly elected legislative authority
of the Village, and the Village Administrator, as the duly appointed
executive authority of the Village, do reaffirm, endorse, support
and are committed to the concept of equal employment as defined and/or
implied under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act of 1972. Equal employment opportunity will
be assured in the municipal personnel systems and affirmative action
provided in their administration. Discrimination against any person
in recruitment, examination, appointment, training, promotion, retention,
separation, discipline, or any other aspect of personnel administration
because of race, color, religion, creed, age, sex, sexual preference,
national origin, ancestry, political belief, physical or mental handicap,
or marital status is prohibited.
It is the policy of the Village not to discriminate against
any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion,
creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, ancestry, political
belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital status. This policy
not to discriminate in employment includes, but is not limited to,
the following:
A.
The Village will employ those applicants who possess the best qualifications,
necessary skills, education and experience, without regard to race,
color, religion, creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin,
ancestry, political belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital
status.
B.
The Village will promote, upgrade, transfer or demote, recruit, advertise
or solicit for employment without regard to race, color, religion,
creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, ancestry, political
belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.
C.
The Village will train during employment and select for training
and apprenticeship programs without regard to race, color, religion,
creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, ancestry, political
belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.
D.
No employee shall aid, abet, compel, coerce or conspire to discharge
or cause another employee to resign because of race, color, religion,
creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, ancestry, political
belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.
E.
The Village will establish rates of pay and terms, conditions or
privileges of employment without regard to race, color, religion,
creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, ancestry, political
belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.
F.
The Village will use for job referral purposes only those employment
agencies which do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion,
creed, age, sex, sexual preference, national origin, ancestry, political
belief, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.
