1. In carrying out these Personnel Policies and Procedures, the GC, Officers, Executive Director, and the Staff must adhere to the MSCSA’s policies of nondiscrimination against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, and age; or any other group or class against which discrimination is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights of 1964; and any other applicable federal, state, or municipal law.

 

2. Both the Federal Americans with Disability Act and the State law prohibit discrimination against an individual on the basis of disability. These laws prohibit the MSCSA, or any of its employees, from discriminating against a qualified applicant or employee with a disability in regard to any position for which the employee is qualified. A qualified person with a disability is defined as a person who:      

a) Has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of life’s major activities;

b) Has a record of such an impairment, or is regarded as being impaired; and

c) Meets the skills, education, experience, and other job related requirements of the position held or desired and who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential function of the job.
