It is the policy of Great Lakes Environmental Center, Inc. (GLEC) to not discriminate against any qualified employee or applicant for employment. GLEC ensures equal treatment for all employees and applicants for employment without unlawful discrimination as to race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, protected veterans, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or citizenship status in all employment decisions including, but not limited to recruitment, hiring, compensation, training and apprenticeship, promotion, upgrading, demotion, downgrading, transfer, layoff, recall and termination, and all other terms and conditions of employment. All employment decisions are based only on valid job requirements.

This includes, but is not limited to, qualified individuals with disabilities, qualified protected veterans, newly separated veteran, a campaign veteran, or an armed forces service medal veteran (i.e., qualified protected veterans), (or pre-Jobs for Veterans' Act (JVA) veteran), disabled veteran (or pre-JVA special disabled veteran) including those who are protected by the nondiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA) and those covered under the E.O. 11246 Rehabilitation Act of 1973; AAP for Individuals with Disabilities and Covered Veterans - Rehabilitation Act Of 1973; and Vietnam Veteran’s Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974.
