Purpose of Affirmative Action Program

The Bank's Affirmative Action Plan is a set of specific and result-oriented procedures to which we, as a Bank, are committed to ensure employment opportunities for protected veterans and individuals with disabilities. The procedures included in the Plan, coupled with our good faith efforts are designed to ensure compliance.

Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

It is the policy of the Bank to hire well-qualified people. An integral part of this policy is to provide equal employment opportunity for all persons and administer hiring, working conditions, benefits and privileges of employment, compensation, training, appointments for advancement, including layoffs and recalls for all employees, without discrimination because of veteran status or disability. (§60-741.43) (§60-300.43)

In order to implement the foregoing policy, the Bank will consider qualified applicants from all sources to ensure equal consideration of individuals. Additionally, the Bank will continue to maintain all Bank facilities on a completely non-segregated basis and will fully cooperate with all authorized individuals and agencies responsible for administering laws and regulations in the area of equal employment opportunity and fair employment practice. This policy extends to all employees and all aspects of the employment relationship, and all personnel are hereby directed to take all reasonable efforts to carry out the spirit and intent of the Bank policy.

The Bank shall post this policy for its employees, and encourage indirect sources of job applicants, such as employees, suppliers, customers, and other contractors to refer qualified applicants.

Overall Bank responsibility for the direction of equal employment opportunity policy, programs and practices, has been assigned to Jill Martin, VP/Human Resources Manager, as the Bank's EEO/AA Officer.

Bank of Eastern Oregon is an Equal Opportunity Employer and does not discriminate on the basis of veteran status or disability.
