(A) It shall be unlawful for any employer, because of the protected class of any person, to fail or refuse to hire, discharge, or otherwise discriminate against that person with respect to tenure, promotion, transfer, compensation, terms, conditions or privileges of employment, or any other matter directly or indirectly related to employment.
(B) As a condition of submitting a bid or proposal to the town, the bidder or proposer agrees to comply with this chapter. Falsification of this certification shall constitute a violation of this chapter and shall be grounds for rejection of the bid or termination, without fault to the town, of a contract.
(C) A religious organization's requirement that employees adhere to its tenets as a condition of employment is not a discriminatory practice covered by the town ordinance. An employee may express their sincerely held religious commitments in the workplace in a reasonable, nondisruptive and non-harassing way, unless the expression is in direct conflict with the essential business-related interests or the needs of the employer.
