EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

Zinc's aspirations to create a diverse and inclusive company far exceed the legal description of "equal employment" below. However, in accordance with legal requirements as an employer, we are including this language.

It is our belief that all people are entitled to equal employment opportunities. Zinc assures equal treatment in the administration of all personnel matters including recruitment, selection, hiring, compensation, benefits, advancement, training, disciplinary action, and transfer, without regard to race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, legally protected medical condition, genetic characteristics, genetic information, marital status, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding and/or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, military or veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. Zinc also makes reasonable accommodations for disabled employees, and for pregnant employees who, with the advice of their health care provider, request an accommodation.

Zinc will not tolerate any unlawful discrimination or harassment of an employee in any of the areas listed above. Any employee who violates this policy is subject to discipline up to and including discharge.
