Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

The Town is an equal opportunity employer.  No employee or applicant will be discriminated against because of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, marital status, disability, veteran status, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, genetic information or any other applicable legally protected status.   The Town will consider all individuals for any position for which they are qualified and able to perform.  It is the Town’s policy to administer all phases of its personnel activity, including recruitment, hiring, training, promotion, transfer, discipline, compensation and benefits and all other conditions or privileges of employment without regard to any applicable legally protected status.  Rather, the Town employs individuals based on performance, experience, qualifications and ability.

Accommodations for Qualified Individuals with Disabilities

The Town is committed to complying with all applicable provisions of state and federal laws protecting the rights of qualified disabled individuals.  It is the Town’s policy not to discriminate against any qualified employee or applicant with regard to any terms or conditions of employment because of such individual’s disability or perceived disability so long as the employee can perform the essential functions of the job with or without reasonable accommodation.  Consistent with this policy of nondiscrimination, the Town will provide reasonable accommodations to a qualified individual with a disability, as defined under applicable law, who has made the Town aware of his or her disability, provided that such accommodation enables the individual to perform the essential functions of his or her job and does not constitute an undue hardship on the Town. Applicants or employees with a disability who believe they need a reasonable accommodation to perform the essential functions of the job at issue should contact the Human Resources Coordinator.
