Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action

City of Green Bay is committed to the equality of opportunity for all people. It is the official policy of City of Green Bay to provide equal employment opportunities for all individuals, on the basis of their skills, abilities and qualifications, without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, political affiliation, sex, age, disability, marital status, arrest or conviction record, sexual orientation, disabled veteran or covered veteran status, membership in the National Guard or any other reserve component of the United States or State military forces, use or nonuse of lawful products off the employer’s premises during non-working hours, or any other non-merit factors, except where such factors constitute a bona fide occupational qualification.

This policy applies to all aspects of the employment relationship, including recruitment, selection, promotion, transfer, compensation, layoff and recall, training and development, disciplinary action and termination.

We encourage all individuals who so desire to seek employment with City of Green Bay, and encourage all employees who so desire to strive for advancement.

As part of our commitment to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action we are communicating this message to all City of Green Bay employees. All new employees will also receive this statement during a new employee orientation session. All employees will receive this statement annually as an affirmation of our dedication to our Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and Affirmative Action Plan.

City of Green Bay also does not tolerate harassment on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, political affiliation, sex, age, disability, marital status, arrest or conviction record, sexual orientation, disabled veteran or covered veteran status, membership in the National Guard or any other reserve component of the United States or State military forces, or use or nonuse of lawful products off the employer’s premises during non-working hours. We encourage any individuals who feel they have been harassed to bring the situation to the attention of the Affirmative Action Officer.

The Affirmative Action Officer for City of Green Bay is Melanie Falk, Senior Human Resources Analyst. You are encouraged to discuss any questions, issues or problems regarding this policy with her.

We are fully committed to our Equal Employment Opportunity Policy and Affirmative Action Program. All employees are expected to comply with and support our policy as well. Together, we must all strive to create a work force that is free from discrimination and truly does provide equal opportunity for all.
