All employment requirements mandated by state and federal regulations will be observed.The organization employs affirmative personnel measures to ensure the achievement of equal employment opportunities in all aspects of employment and the work environment. These policies of nondiscrimination will prevail throughout every aspect of the employment relationship, including recruitment, selection, compensation, promotion, transfer, layoff, and recall, termination, and dispute resolution.In keeping with our philosophy and federal and state law, our advertising and recruiting materials will contain the following statement to encourage qualified applicants to apply: “Equal Opportunity Employer.” Our policy as an equal opportunity employer is to employ those legally entitled to work in the United States without regard to citizenship, ethnic background, or place of national origin. However, in conformity with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA), our policy is to hire only those who are eligible to work in the United States. Verification documentation is required of all new hires.All employees in the organization are responsible for following and carrying out this policy according to the spirit and intent of our equal employment commitment. Management provides and supports a dispute resolution procedure for complaints alleging discrimination. Employees are expected to bring any questions, issues, or complaints to management’s attention. If you believe you have been harassed, or if you witness or suspect any violation of this policy, you should report the matter immediately to Robyn Feld, Administrator or Galo Burbano, Secretary. We will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint or cooperating in an investigation, and we will not tolerate or permit retaliation by management or co-workers.AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACTThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a comprehensive federal civil rights law that specifically protects individuals with physical and mental disabilities from discrimination in the workplace.Individuals are protected under the ADA if any of the following conditions exist:- They currently have a physical or mental condition that substantially limits their ability to normally conduct a major life function (walking, seeing, hearing, breathing, etc.);
- They have a history of such impairment; and/or,
- They are perceived to have such impairment.
- What is harassment? Simply stated: a lack of respect.
- It is Blanca’s House policy not to tolerate harassment and any violators of the Firm policy will be subject to disciplinary action, including termination from Blanca’s House. The Firm has established this policy because: 1) it is against the law; 2) claims are expensive and embarrassing for everyone once started, and 3) it is wrong – Blanca’s House’s goal is to create a work environment that is free from harassment of any type.
- Blanca’s House prohibits anyone from engaging in the harassment of anyone else on the basis of color, race, religion, national origin, disability, age, gender, marital status, citizenship status, sexual orientation or veteran status.
- What is sexual harassment? There are two different types:
- Requiring dates or sexual favors as an employment condition. (Quid pro quo)
- Employee told that he/she will not be hired, promoted or receive a raise if he/she does not go out with or have sex with their supervisor.
- Prohibited sexual harassment includes verbal as well as physical conduct that has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating or hostile working environment.
- The fact that a person does not mean to be offensive is not material – the question is what impact the conduct or words have on the other person. This is very subjective.
- The following are some things that could be considered offensive: referring to people as “dear” or “honey.” Hugging or touching. Sexual remarks or jokes. Posting of nude pinups. Having a sexual or lewd screen saver on a PC. Eyeing people up and down.
- E-mail and the Internet are for business purposes only and cannot be used for any communication which could be offensive or derogatory, including sexual jokes or comments.

- Maintain an environment that fosters respect for individuals.
- If you hear about harassment from someone else, refer him/her to Blanca’s House.
- If you know about it, or it has happened to you, report it to Robyn Feld

- Anything that could be construed as disrespectful.
- Persistent, unwanted invitations, phone calls, or E-mails.
