Equal Employment Opportunity

Equal Employment Opportunity

Overlake Hospital Medical Center supports the principles of equal employment opportunity and provides equal opportunity in employment to all employees and applicants for employment. Overlake will not discriminate with respect to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, creed, disability, marital or veteran status, sexual orientation, citizenship, or any other basis prohibited by company policy or local, state, or federal laws in any aspect of its employment or pre-employment practices. Overlake will reasonably accommodate qualified, disabled employees and applicants as required by law. Human Resources is designated by the CEO to be responsible for compliance with this policy.

Employees who have questions or concerns about any type of discrimination in the workplace should contact their direct supervisor or the Human Resources Department. Retaliation toward any employee for raising such a concern or participating in an investigation will not be tolerated. Additionally, anyone found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination and/or engaging in retaliation will be subject to corrective action, up to and including termination of their employment.

Disability and Accommodation

1. Overlake Hospital will strive to make reasonable accommodations for employees who report a disability that affects their ability to perform the essential functions of their job, as required by state and federal law.

2. Employees who have such a disability, or sustain one during their employment (including on-the-job injuries), should discuss the circumstances with their direct supervisor and/or the Human Resources Department. This information will be kept as confidential as possible. Only those who are involved in evaluating an employee's request for an accommodation, in making modifications to the employee's job, or who have a legitimate need to know will have access to this information.
