Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

Green Diamond International is dedicated to providing everyone with equal employment and advancement opportunities. Employment decisions are based on merit, qualifications, abilities, and alignment with our core values. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, military status, marital status, family status, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by law.

We do not discriminate against applicants or employees based on marital or family status unless required by the job. Marital status includes being married, divorced, separated, or single, and the identity and occupations of a person’s spouse.

While we allow the hiring of relatives, we monitor situations where relatives work in the same area, especially if one supervises the other. If issues arise, we may reassign one of the relatives or dismiss one or both employees.

We make reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless it causes undue hardship. This policy covers all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training.

We do not discriminate against any applicant or employee due to physical or mental disability. If a disability prevents an otherwise qualified applicant or employee from performing a job, we will assess whether reasonable accommodations can be made before making employment decisions. Accommodations that cause undue hardship or endanger health or safety are not considered reasonable. We will make necessary accommodations to allow qualified individuals to perform their jobs.

Applicants or employees with disabilities who need reasonable accommodation should inform their immediate supervisor or management. Employees can contact the EEO Officer with concerns or complaints about EEO issues. Upper management will prioritize, investigate, and review all issues. Confidentiality will be maintained as much as possible.

In addition to providing equal employment opportunities, Green Diamond International has an affirmative action program to promote opportunities for individuals in protected classes.

Affirmative Action

Green Diamond International takes affirmative action to provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, military status, marital status, family status, citizenship, or any other characteristic protected by law.

This includes:

  • Hiring, placement, upgrading, transfer, demotion, or promotion;

  • Recruitment, advertising, or solicitation for employment;

  • Treatment during employment;

  • Rates of pay or other forms of compensation;

  • Selection for training, including apprenticeship; and,

  • Layoff or termination.

We cooperate fully with applicable regulations of the Civil Rights Act and any Executive Orders on Equal Employment Opportunity.
