Your Right to Equal Opportunity

It is against the law for an employer to discriminate against an applicant based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age (40 years or older), genetic information, or disability. The employer must ensure equal opportunity with regard to all terms, conditions, and privileges associated with employment. If you think that you have been subjected to discrimination, you may file a complaint within 300 days from the date of the alleged discrimination or failure to follow the equal opportunity standards with
