What is a Sample Equal Employment Opportunity and Americans with Disabilities Policy

The [CITY/TOWN] is an equal opportunity employer. The [CITY/TOWN] shall comply with all relevant federal and state laws, to include rules and regulations put forth by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, (EEOC). The [CITY/TOWN] shall adhere to all relevant provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, (ADA). The [CITY/ TOWN] ensures equal employment opportunity regardless of race, religion, color, creed, national origin, sex, marital status, political belief, age, or mental/physical disability, (as defined by the ADA), unless such disability effectively prevents the performance of the essential duties required of the position and which are bona fide occupational qualifications that cannot be accommodated without undue hardship to the [CITY/TOWN]. If an employee believes that they have been subjected to discrimination, including harassment, based upon any of these factors, they should immediately contact their supervisor and pursue corrective action. If the employee feels they
need to resolve the problem by filing a grievance, they should pursue action through the Grievance Procedure stated within the [CITY’S/TOWN’S] policy manual.
