North Georgia EMC reaffirms its belief and commitment in equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants in all terms and conditions of employment.

NGEMC has developed and maintained a written Affirmative Action Program (AAP) for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities. The company’s Chief Executive Officer, Kathryn West, supports the affirmative action program and urges each employee to commit to carrying out the intent of this policy. NGEMC maintains an audit and reporting system to determine overall compliance with its equal employment opportunity mandates. The EEO Administrator oversees the affirmative action plan development, modification, implementation, effectiveness, reporting requirements and conducts management updates. NGEMC invites any applicant and/or employee to review the written Affirmative Action Plan. This plan is available for inspection upon request during normal business hours at the Human Resources office.

As part of the NGEMC’s commitment to this overall process, it will ensure all aspects of employment, including recruitment, selection, job assignment, training, compensation, benefits, discipline, promotion, transfer, layoff, and termination processes remain free of illegal discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, genetic information, disability, protected veteran status, or a person’s relationship or association with a protected veteran, including spouses and other family members. NGEMC ensures all employment decisions are based only on valid job requirements. Regular review helps ensure compliance with this policy.

NGEMC will ensure that employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment due to their status described above, or any harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have engaged in or may engage in any of the following activities; (1) filing a complaint with NGEMC or with federal, state, or local agencies regarding status covered under this AAP, (2) assisting or participating in any investigation, compliance review, hearing, or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state, or local equal employment opportunity or affirmative action statute pertaining to the status covered under this AAP; (3) opposing any act or practice made unlawful by section 503 and/or VEVRAA, and (4) exercising any other right protected by section 503 and/or VEVRAA or its implementing regulations in this part.

Further, in accordance with Federal civil rights law and U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its Agencies, offices, and employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA (not all bases apply to all programs). Remedies and complaint filing deadlines vary by program or incident.

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the State or local Agency that administers the program or contact USDA through the Telecommunications Relay Service at 711 (voice and TTY). Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.
