EQUAL
EMPLOYMENT
Cleveland
County Government is firmly committed to a policy of nondiscrimination in all
personnel practices to ensure equal opportunity for employment, promotion,
training and salary potential for all segments of the community. All aspects of employment shall be based
solely on individual merit without regard to race, color, national origin,
religion, gender, age, disability (except where gender, age, or physical
requirements are legitimate occupational qualifications), or any other
non-merit factor.
Established as a supplement to the recruitment guidelines in Article IV of the
Cleveland County Personnel Ordinance, the Equal Employment Opportunity Plan
(EEO) will be used as the method by which the County formulates its commitment
to these ideals, measures its achievements, and evaluates its
effectiveness. It outlines objectives,
assigns responsibilities, establishes goals and provides for an annual
evaluation of its effectiveness.
The policies and programs outlined in this plan are
applicable to all officers and employees of

EQUAL
EMPLOYMENT
POLICY
STATEMENT
Cleveland
County Personnel Ordinance, Article IV, Section 1 establishes the following:
“It is the policy of
the County to maintain a systematic, consistent recruitment program, to promote
equal employment opportunity, and to identify and attract the most qualified
applicants for all present and future vacancies. This intent is achieved through consistency
in announcing all positions, evaluating all applicants on the same criteria,
and by applying testing methods through the Local Job Service Office (Employment
Security Commission). To avoid
discrimination, equal employment opportunities are allowed without regard to
sex, race, religion, color, national origin, age, or disability. These prohibitions against discrimination are
consistent with the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended, the Equal Pay Act of
1963, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 as amended, the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as amended, and the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 as amended.
This policy statement shall also ensure greater utilization
of all persons by identifying previously underutilized groups in the work force,
such as women, minorities, and the disabled, and make special efforts toward
their recruitment, selection, appointment, promotion, development, and upward
mobility. A work force analysis will be
periodically conducted to determine whether percentages of minorities and women
employed in various categories are substantially similar to percentages of
those groups available in the relevant labor force. If an under representation is identified,
employment procedures will be analyzed to determine the cause. Efforts will be made to seek qualified
applicants to correct any substantial disparities identified as a result of
this analysis. A periodic evaluation of
the County’s personnel policies and practices relevant to total employment will
guarantee equal opportunities for all persons, while eliminating any artificial
barriers to equal employment opportunity.”
Cleveland County Government is
committed to providing Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) to all qualified
persons regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, or
disability. The Human Resources Department has been designated to administer
the County's EEO Program and will monitor the program and make reports on a
periodic and continuing basis. All
employment and personnel policies and practices -- recruiting, hiring,
promotions, transfers, training, compensation, benefits, reductions-in-force,
and terminations will be administered according to EEO principles.
Any employee
or applicant for employment who believes that he or she has not been treated in
accordance with the County's policy for equal employment opportunity may file a
grievance with the Human Resources Department. This policy prohibits any
retaliatory action against any employee or applicant because that person made a
charge, testified, or participated in the proceeding or investigation of
employment discrimination.
This Equal Employment Opportunity Plan is designed to provide guidance with
respect to the County's commitment to full implementation of its EEO policy.
The County's policy includes, without limitation, the following commitments:
