The overall employment policy of the village shall include the following.
(A) There shall be no illegal discrimination in employment, employment opportunities, or job actions on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, legally-recognized disability, or marital status unless one or more of the above constitute a bona fide occupational qualification within the meaning of the law. No job applicant or present employee will be illegally discriminated against or given preference because of any of the above characteristics, unless otherwise required by law.
(B) Persons with known legally recognized disabilities will be given full consideration for employment and opportunities for advancement in all departments and divisions. The village will offer to such persons reasonable accommodation with respect to the essential functions of the job, provided the person is otherwise qualified to perform the job, and provided further such accommodation does not create undue hardship on village operations.
(C) The village will take affirmative recruitment actions to expand employment opportunities for groups that are underutilized in the village workforce, but not in any way which violates applicable law.
