The Village will assure nondiscriminatory employment practices
in recruitment, advertising, employment, placement, layoff or termination,
promotion, demotion or transfer, rate of pay or other forms of compensation
and use of facilities.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
The Village will not contract with other agencies, banks, businesses,
vendors, etc., who practice or establish a pattern of discrimination
based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age,
order of protection status, marital status, physical or mental disability,
military status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, or unfavorable discharge
from military service.
A.
The Village will incorporate into any contract for construction work,
or modification thereof, subject to the relevant rules, regulations,
and orders of the Secretary of Labor or of any prior authority that
remain in effect, which is paid for in whole or in part with the aid
of such financial assistance, the following "Equal Opportunity Clause":
(1)
The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant
for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, disability or
national origin. The contractor will take affirmative action to ensure
that applicants are employed, and the employees are treated during
employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, national
origin or disability. 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, or disability.
(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 canceled, 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 Village 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 Village as well as surrounding areas.
The Village will provide accommodations to the best of its ability
for employees with disabilities, contingent on budget and structural
limitations.
All Village employees are expected to adhere to the above policy
and to work actively for its implementation both internally and in
carrying out Village program activities.
The Village designates the Mayor and the Village Board to carry
out the EEO/AA plan.
