EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 

POLICY 

Issue Date: 12/31/2025 

The Department remains steadfast in its commitment to equal employment opportunity (EEO) and 
treating employees with fairness, dignity and compassion. We must ensure that no applicant for 
employment or employee of our Department is denied equal opportunity because of race, color, religion, 
national origin, sex – including pregnancy – or because of age, physical or mental disability, protected 
genetic information, parental status, marital status, political affiliation, or any other non-merit based factor 
and that all have the freedom to compete on a fair and level playing field. We also must protect our 
workforce and applicants from retaliation for participating in EEO activity or opposing discriminatory 
acts. 

These protections should apply to all personnel and employment programs, management practices and 
decisions, including, but not limited to, recruitment, hiring, merit promotions, transfers, reassignments, 
training and career development, benefits, and separations. We will take swift and appropriate corrective 
and/or disciplinary action when anyone is found to have engaged in discrimination, retaliation, or 
harassment, including sexual harassment, that is prohibited by our policies regardless of whether the 
discrimination, retaliation, or harassment violates federal law. 

In addition, the Department provides reasonable accommodations to employees and applicants with 
disabilities or known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, and for 
religious observances or practices, in accordance with established law. The Department also supports the 
use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve EEO complaints and requires management 
participation when ADR is approved for use. 

Finally, all DOJ employees and applicants for employment are afforded legal protections against EEO 
violations and have the right to raise allegations of discrimination and harassment without fear of 
reprisal. Contractors have similar protections if it is determined that the agency is a joint employer. 
Employees who believe they have been subjected to discrimination, or to retaliation for participating in 
EEO activity or for opposing discrimination, should contact their DOJ Component EEO office within 45 
calendar days of when the alleged harm occurred. Applicants for employment should contact the EEO 
Office that services the employing DOJ Component where the alleged act of discrimination occurred. 

The Department will uphold principles of EEO in its service to the United States and in support of the 
DOJ workforce who work tirelessly to uphold the rule of law, keep our county safe, and to protect civil rights.
