Equal Employment Opportunity

STATEMENT OF POLICY

Resource Management Systems Inc. (RMS) has a strong commitment to the community we serve and our employees. As an equal opportunity employer, we strive to have a workforce that reflects the community we serve. No person is unlawfully excluded from employment opportunities based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, genetic information, disability, veteran status, or other protected class.

RMS’s Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) policy applies to all employment actions, including but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, selection for training, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation.

All applicants and employees have the right to file complaints alleging discrimination. Retaliation against an individual who files a charge or complaint of discrimination, participates in an employment discrimination proceeding (such as an investigation or lawsuit), or otherwise engages in protected activity is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated.

RMS is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to applicants and employees who need them because of a disability or to practice or observe their religion, absent undue hardship.

As RMS’s General Manager, I maintain overall responsibility and accountability for RMS’s compliance with its EEO Policy and Program. To ensure day-to-day management, including program preparation, monitoring, and complaint investigation, I have appointed Stone Pinson, Assistance Compliance Director, as RMS’s EEO Officer. Stone will report directly to me and acts with my authority with all levels of management, labor unions, and employees.

All RMS’s executives, management, and supervisory personnel, however, share in the responsibility for implementing and monitoring RMS’s EEO Policy and Program within their respective areas and will be assigned specific tasks to ensure compliance is achieved. RMS will evaluate its managers’ and supervisors’ performance on their successful implementation of RMS’s policies and procedures, in the same way RMS assesses their performance regarding other agency’s goals.

RMS is committed to undertaking and developing a written nondiscrimination program that sets forth the policies, practices, and procedures, with goals and timetables, to which the agency is committed and make the EEO Program available for inspection by any employee or applicant for employment upon request.

I am personally committed to a workplace that acts upon its daily responsibility to treat all applicants and employees with dignity and respect, as well as equitably under the guidelines of our EEO Policy and Program.

Complaint Process

Employees or applicants for employment having reason to believe they may have been subjected to discrimination prohibited by EEO statutes and regulations are urged to bring those concerns to the attention of their immediate supervisor, department director, the Director of Human Resources or designee(s), or RMS EEO Officer, as appropriate, as provided in the RMS Company Policies and Procedures Manual. Complainants are urged to report such concerns within 15 days of the occurrence of the incident(s) in question. Prompt reporting allows for timely investigation and quick resolution of complaints.
