Policy Statement -
Equal Employment Opportunity for Qualified Individuals with Disabilities and Qualified Protected Veterans

It is the policy of Beckwood Services Inc. (BSI) not to discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because he or she is a qualified individual with a disability, a disabled veteran, a newly separated veteran, a campaign veteran, or an armed forces service medal veteran (i.e., qualified protected veteran). It is also the policy of BSI to take affirmative action to employ and to advance in employment, all persons regardless of their status as qualified individuals with disabilities or qualified protected veterans, and to base all employment decisions only on valid job requirements. This policy shall apply to all employment actions, including but not limited to recruitment, hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, recall, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation and selection for training, including apprenticeship, at all levels of employment.

Employees of and applicants to BSI will not be subject to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination because they have engaged or may engage in filing a complaint, assisting in a review, investigation, or hearing or have otherwise sought to obtain their legal rights related to any Federal, State, or local law regarding EEO for qualified individuals with disabilities or qualified protected veterans.

As General Manager of BSI, I am committed to the principles of Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity. In order to ensure dissemination and implementation of equal employment opportunity and affirmative action throughout all levels of the company, I have selected the Personnel Manager as the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Manager for BSI. One of the Personnel Manager’s duties will be to establish and maintain an internal audit and reporting system to allow for effective measurement of BSI’s Programs.

In furtherance of BSI’s policy regarding Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity, BSI has developed a written Affirmative Action Program which sets forth the policies, practices, and procedures which BSI is committed to applying in order to ensure that its policy of non-discrimination and affirmative action for qualified individuals with disabilities and qualified protected veterans is accomplished. This Affirmative Action Program is available for inspection by any employee or applicant for employment upon request, during normal business hours, in the Administration Department. Interested persons should contact the Personnel Manager at 603-382-3840 for assistance.
