Policy Title: Equal Employment Opportunity
Date Last Amended: February 5, 2007
His Helping Hands will not unlawfully discriminate against any individual because of that person’s race, color, ancestry, national origin, disability, sex, or age. This applies to all employment practices, including hiring, promotions, training, disciplinary actions, terminations, and benefits. His Helping Hands does, however, reserve the right to employ persons who have a church background and philosophy of service similar to ours and who, in the opinion of His Helping Hands, have a work history and life style that is consistent with Christian principles.
His Helping Hands will not discipline, terminate or otherwise retaliate against any individual for asserting a good faith complaint of illegal discrimination, or for participating in an investigation of such a complaint, nor will HHH otherwise retaliate against any individual for engaging in “protected activity” as that term is defined by relevant law.
