Equal Opportunity Policy

Equal Opportunity Policy

Asmbly Makerspace is committed to the policy of equal opportunity in employment and volunteer service in accordance with established federal, state and local EEO laws and regulations.

Scope

This policy of nondiscrimination applies to employment, training, compensation, promotion, transfer, social and recreational programs, and all other conditions of employment or volunteer service.

Policy Elements

It is the policy of Asmbly to:

• Recruit and employ qualified persons on the basis of merit without regard to race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, ethnicity, sex, age, religion, military or veteran status, marital status, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected class as set forth under applicable state and federal civil rights laws.
• This policy covers all aspects of employment, including hiring, placement, upgrading, transfer, demotion, recruitment, recruitment advertising, selection for training and apprenticeship, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and layoff or termination.
• Follow personnel procedures that will ensure equal opportunity for all people. Employment and volunteer service decisions will be based on the individual’s qualifications to perform the job or role.
• Make reasonable accommodations wherever necessary for all employees, volunteers or applicants with disabilities, provided that the individual is otherwise qualified to perform the major functions of the job or role.
• Prohibit retaliation, discharge or otherwise discrimination against any employee or applicant for employment who has inquired about, discussed or disclosed their compensation.
• Thoroughly investigate instances of alleged discrimination and take corrective action if warranted.

Problems or Complaints

Individuals with questions regarding Asmbly’s equal opportunity policy, or a belief that they have experienced discrimination, sexual harassment, or another form of harassment, should contact their supervisor immediately. If the matter cannot be discussed with a supervisor, individuals should follow the reporting pathways described in the discipline policy.

No employee or volunteer shall be discriminated against, harassed, intimidated, nor suffer any reprisal as a result of reporting a violation of this policy. Furthermore, any employee, supervisor, or manager who becomes aware of any such discrimination or harassment should immediately report it to executive management or the human resources office to ensure that such conduct does not continue.
