PERSONNEL COMMITTEE
COUNTY OF OAKLAND
STATEMENT OF
EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
AND
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY
It is the intention of the County of Oakland to provide equal employment
opportunities to each employee or applicant for employment and, in accordance
with applicable federal and state statutes and the Merit System Resolution,
to prohibit illegal employment discrimination on the basis of race, sex, age,
physical handicap, national origin, religious belief, or political affiliation.
In addition, this statement shall recommit the County of Oakland, as an
employer, to the eventual goal of having the number of minorities and women in
its employ in each classification and department equal to their representation
in the available work force.
This policy further directs and binds all County officials, department
heads, and managers, especially those with responsibility for selection,
training, advancement, and supervision of employees to positively and
affirmatively carry out all personnel related actions in such a manner so
as to bring about the above mentioned goal as quickly and completely as
possible.
The affirmative action plan shall include, but shall not be limited to,
the following considerations:
A continuing practice of reviewing the terms and conditions of
employment as defined in part by Merit System Rules, union con-
tracts, personnel policies, fringe benefits, work environment,
or job requirements to ensure that all employees are being
treated fairly and in accordance with this policy.
A continuing program of advertising all County employment
opportunities in news media which are likely to reach women
and minorities, and the distribution of such information to
female and minority organizations within the County.
A continuing practice of reviewing minimum qualifications,
employment tests, interviews, or other selection procedures
to ensure that they are valid and job related in their content
and administration.
A continuing practice of reviewing and implementing policies
describing promotional, transfer, or job training opportunities
in a fair and non-discriminatory manner to all employees.
Whenever practical, these programs and policies should be
publicized so as to make all employees aware of them and
encourage the participation of groups consistent with this
policy.
A continuing practice of monitoring policies and practices
related to lay-offs, recalls, terminations, demotions, and
disciplinary actions to ensure that such personnel trans-
actions are not illegally discriminatory in intent or effect.
A continuing practice of coordinating and working with officials,
managers, supervisors, employees and union representatives to make
them aware of the county's affirmative action policy and their
responsibilities in meeting the goals and objectives of this program,
The Personnel Committee, in accordance with the county's overall goal Of equal
employment opportunity and affirmative action, shall receive an annual written report
from the Personnel Department that outlines the goals set with appropriate timetables,
and outlines the progreu towards the goals to be accomplished. The Director of
Personnel shall be the chief administrative officer responsible for the coordination
and implementation of specific steps necessary to achieve the county's equal
employment opportunity and affirmative action aims as presented in this statement
and as defined by the Personnel Committee.
