Equal Employment Opportunity Policy
(Westmoreland Conservation District)

In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, employment decisions at WCD will be based on merit, qualifications and abilities. WCD does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other characteristic protected by law.

WCD will make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in undue hardship. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination and access to benefits and training.

Any employees with questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace are encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of their immediate supervisor or the Administrative department. Employees can raise concerns and make reports without fear or reprisal. Anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
