U.S. Department of Labor Policy on Equal Employment Opportunity
They do not omit things that you think they might leave out. I don't know if you can read this from an external computer.
U.S. Department of Labor Policy on Equal Employment Opportunity
Secretary of Labor
Washington, D.C. 20210
The Department of Labor (DOL) must strive to guarantee a level playing field for all employees and applicants for employment. We work best when DOL fully includes individuals with diverse backgrounds, experience, and judgment, and utilizes the maximum capabilities of every employee. Our DOL fosters and promotes a work environment free from unlawful discrimination, where diversity and inclusion are valued at all levels, so that we may focus our commitments and efforts on improving the lives of American workers and American families.
To best realize equal employment opportunity (EEO), we must make certain that all employees and applicants for DOL employment are treated fairly and consistently on the basis of merit. DOL employees are protected by federal statutes, Presidential Executive Orders, and other laws designed to protect Federal employees from discrimination and prohibited personnel practices. As such, no employee or applicant for employment will be denied equal opportunity, subjected to harassment, retaliated against, or denied equal pay, compensation, or benefits of employment because of race, color, religion (including reasonable accommodation of religious beliefs or practices), sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions, transgender status, gender identity, sexual harassment, and sex stereotyping), national origin (including ethnicity, accent and use of a language other than English), age, disability (including reasonable accommodation of physical or mental disability), genetic information, veteran status, parental status, sexual orientation, marital status, political affiliation or belief, or any other prohibited factor. Employees shall not be subjected to discrimination due to their membership in a protected group; the perception of membership in a protected group; or, association with members of a protected group.
