Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action

IFMC is committed to equal opportunity for all. It is our policy that employment decisions shall be based on merit, qualifications and competence.

Except where required or permitted by law, employment practices shall not be influenced or affected by an applicant's or employee's race, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.

Affirmative action is being taken by the company to hire and advance in employment qualified disabled persons, disabled veterans, and veterans of the Vietnam era. In addition, if a job group in our work force becomes underutilized in minority groups or women, affirmative action will be taken to achieve full utilization.

Employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination because they have engaged or may engage in any of the following activities:

• Filing a complaint
• Assisting or participating in an investigation, compliance review, hearing, or any other activity related to the administration of section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended (section 503) or any other federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity for disabled persons
• Opposing any act or practice made unlawful by section 503 or its implementing regulations or any other federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity for disabled persons
• Exercising any other right protected by section 503 or its implementing regulations

The general responsibility for ensuring compliance and continued implementation of the policy on equal employment opportunity and affirmative action is assigned to the vice president of Human Resources and Organizational Development. If you have questions or concerns about our policy, or problems resulting from discrimination or potential discrimination, contact the vice president of Human Resources and Organizational Development.
