(1)
The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant
for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants
are employed, and that employees are treated, during employment, without
regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national origin or developmental
disability/handicap. Such action shall include, but not be limited
to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer; recruitment
or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or
other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including
apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to post in conspicuous places,
available to employees and applicants for employment, notices setting
forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause.
(2)
The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisement for employees
placed by or on behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified
applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard
to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, developmental disability/handicap.
(3)
In the event of the contractor's noncompliance with the Equal Opportunity
Clause or with any of the rules, regulations, and orders, this contract
may be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part and
the contractor may be declared ineligible for further government contracts
or federally assisted construction contracts.
(4)
The contractor will include the provisions of this Equal Opportunity
Clause in every subcontract or purchase order, unless exempted by
the rules, regulations, or orders of the Secretary of Labor, so that
such provisions will be binding upon each such subcontractor or vendor.
The City of Waverly assures that it will actively provide nondiscriminatory
outreach, selection, and service to all individuals.
Efforts will be made to hire minority individuals for all job
categories so that minority employment in all categories of the work
force will represent a proportionate share of minority populations
in the City of Waverly as well as surrounding areas.
The City of Waverly will provide accommodations, to the best
of its ability, for developmentally disabled/handicapped employees,
contingent on budget and structural limitations.
All City of Waverly employees are expected to adhere to the
above policy and to work actively for its implementation both internally
and in carrying our City program activities.
The City of Waverly designates the Mayor and City Council to
carry out the equal employment opportunity/affirmative action (EEO/AA)
plan.
