It is the Policy of IMCO General Construction (“IMCO” or the “Company”) when recruiting, hiring, training, promoting, and terminating employees to comply with those laws which prohibit discrimination as to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion, national origin, genetics, disability, veteran status, or any other basis protected by applicable local, state, and federal law. In addition, IMCO has a policy of affirmative action in regard to employing, advancing in employment and otherwise treating qualified individuals with disabilities and protected veterans without discrimination based on their physical or mental disabilities or protected veteran status in all Company employment practices. It is the policy of IMCO to ensure that all employment decisions are based only on valid job requirements. As President, I reaffirm that the above Policy, in conjunction with the Affirmative Action Program, reflects IMCO’s attitude and its intention to: 

1. Recruit, hire, train and promote for all job classifications without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion, national origin, genetics, disability, veteran status, or any other basis protected by applicable local, state, and federal law.
2. Base decisions on employment to further the principles of equal employment opportunity.
3. Ensure that promotion decisions are in accord with the principles of equal employment opportunity.
4. Ensure that all other personnel actions, such as compensation, benefits, transfers, terminations, Company-sponsored training, education tuition assistance, social and recreational programs, will be administered without regard to race, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, religion, national origin, genetics, disability, veteran status, or any other basis protected by applicable local, state, and federal law. 
5. Provide, pursuant to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, equal employment opportunities as set forth above to qualified individuals with disabilities. 
6. Provide, pursuant to the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, equal opportunities as set forth above, to those who are qualified protected veterans.  

IMCO, in compliance the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, maintains written Affirmative Action Plans. The non-confidential elements of these Plans are available upon request, through Leah Hanson, Director of HR and Equal Employment Opportunity Officer, during normal business hours at (360)603-5109. 

IMCO makes reasonable accommodations to the physical and mental limitations of qualified individuals with disabilities and qualified protected veterans, unless such an accommodation would impose an undue hardship.  

IMCO will take all necessary steps to ensure that no person intimidates, threatens, coerces, or discriminates against any individual because that individual has filed a complaint, furnished information, or assisted or participated in any manner in an investigation, compliance review, hearing, or other activity related to the administration of this Policy.

IMCO maintains an audit and reporting system to measure the effectiveness of its Affirmative Action Program and the implementation of this Policy.
