The EEO/Affirmative Action Program
Through it’s EEO/Affirmative Action
Program in the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), the Hawaii Department
of Transportation (HDOT) is committed to ensuring equal employment
opportunity, affirmative action and a harassment-free work
environment. Additionally, the HDOT will not tolerate retaliation
against any person reporting discrimination or harassment.
Federal and State employment
laws protect persons from unlawful discrimination based on their
race, color, national origin, gender, religion, ancestry, age,
marital status, disability, arrest/court record, sexual orientation,
or National Guard Participation. Persons breast- feeding or
expressing milk are also protected.
OCR is charged with
investigating allegations of unlawful discrimination and harassment
in HDOT.
If an employee or job applicant
believes he or she has been subjected to unlawful discrimination or
harassment, he or she may file a complaint with the OCR. An
investigation with or without authorization from the complainant may
also be conducted to maintain a workplace free of discrimination and
harassment.
