This policy prohibits discrimination by the City's contractors, subcontractors and vendors, and requires them to take affirmative action to ensure that applicants employed or seeking employment with them are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual preference, disability, marital status, and age. It is our intention to administer this policy in such a manner as to assist employers who are contractors or subcontractors with the City in designing and implementing Affirmative Action Programs so that all citizens will be afforded equal accessibility and opportunity to gain and maintain employment. PROVISIONS: All vendors requesting to do business with the City, and all City contractors, subcontractors, and consultants, must submit an approved Equal Employment Opportunity Statement. 2. All City contractors, subcontractors or consultants with contracts of $25,000 or more (or less if required by another governmental agency) must abide by the requirements of the City's Contract Compliance Program. Emergency contracts are exempt from this provision. Contracting departments are responsible for assuring that City contractors, subcontractors and vendors are made aware of their EEO/Affirmative Action reporting responsibilities and receive the appropriate reporting forms. A notification of requirements will be included in any requests for proposal. 4. Prior to commencement of work, the completed Equal Employment Opportunity Statement or required material must be received and approved by the City. Contractor compliance during the course of the contract with the City of Iowa City will be monitored by the contracting department. Once a contractual relationship exists between a contractor and the City, as with any contractual provision, the City retains the right to withhold payment on a contract pending satisfactory performance in the areas of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action outlined at the time of contract award and/or to disqualify a contractor from future bidding for a specified period of time.

Complete the EXISTING EMPLOYMENT section. Job Classification definitions appear on pages 7 & 8. 2. The statistics located below, indicate the AVAILABILITY of women and minorities in your recruitment area. Compare these statistics with your current employment figures. If statistics are available per job classification, then make your comparisons in that manner, if the statistics are not broken down, compare your total minority and female work force figures with the total availability statistics. i) Johnson County labor force statistics: 2.05% minority 44.04% female ii) A more detailed breakdown by job classification may be available for your location. This information may be obtained from the Civil Rights Specialist. 3. If your current employment percentages for women and minorities, either in a particular job classification or as a whole, is lower than the statistics indicate is available, then UNDERUTILI7-ATION of either minorities or females exist. 4. If UNDERUTILIZATION exists, determine the number of women or minorities needed to make your work force percentages equal to the availability statistics. This figure represents your GOAL to increase minority and female representation. If you do not have statistics by job classification set a goal in the job classification you are most likely to have employee movement in. 5.

COMPANY POLICY Determine your company's policy regarding equal employment and affirmative action. Write this policy out and post it in a conspicuous place so that it is known to all your employees. Furthermore, disseminate the policy to all potential sources of employees and to your subcontractors asking their cooperation. The policy statement should recognize and accept your responsibility to provide equal employment opportunity in all your employment practices. This responsibility should include: -correcting any and all discriminatory practices and conditions which presently exist -taking appropriate remedial actions to correct past inequities -taking a results -oriented approach, in other words, affirming the policy through actual minority and female hires and by maintaining a "single standard" principle in your unit so that employees are evaluated, recognized, developed and rewarded on a fair and equitable basis. In regards to dissemination of this polity, this can be done through the use of letters to all recruitment sources and subcontractors, personal contacts, and employee meetings. 2. EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY OFFICER Designate an equal employment opportunity officer or at minimum someone should be given the responsibility of administering and promoting your company's affirmative action program. This person should be placed within your organizational structure so as to emphasize the importance of the program. 3. INSTRUCT STAFF Your company personnel staff should be aware of and required to abide by your affirmative action program. All employees authorized to hire, supervise, promote and discharge employees or recommend or are involved in such actions should be trained and made to comply with your policy and the current equal employment opportunity laws. 4. RECRUITMENT (A) Let potential employees know you are an equal employment opportunity employer. This can be done by identifying yourself on all recruitment advertising as "an equal employment opportunity employer". (B) Use recruitment sources that are likely to yield minority and female group applicants. Word-of-mouth recruitment will only 5 0 IO perpetuate the current composition of your workforce. Recruitment sources that fail to send minorities and females should be evaluated for continued use. Send all recruitment sources a letter annually which reaffirms your commitment to equal employment opportunity and requests their assistance in helping you hire minorities and females. (C) Analyze and review your company's recruitment procedures to identify and eliminate discriminatory barriers. (D) Select and train persons involved in the employment process to use objective standards and to support affirmative action goals. (E) Periodically review job descriptions to make sure they actually reflect major job functions and do not require higher qualifications. (F) Review the job application to insure that only job related questions are asked. Ask yourself "Is this information necessary to judge an applicant's competence for performing the job applied for?" (G) Only use job-related tests which do not adversely affect any particular group of people. (H) Carefully monitor interviews and interviewees' actions. Biased and subjective judgments in personal interviews can be a major source of discrimination. APPRENTICESHIP AND OTHER TRAINING Where applicable, you should assure that full use will be made of any existing labor/management sponsored programs designed for the purposes of recruiting and training minority and female applicants and employees. MONITOR ALL POLICIES AND PRACTICES In order to assure your policy is effective, at least twice per year a review of the following should occur: -APPLICANT FLOW - a record for each applicant, indicating the person's name, race, sex, referral source, date of application, position applied for, and disposition (hired or not hired) -HIRES by race, sex, department, job title and starting salary -PROMOTIONS and TRANSFERS by race and sex -DISCHARGE and TERMINATIONS by race, sex, reason for discharge and termination. Review of the above information will allow you to determine discrepancies that exist, if any, within your work place. Such discrepancies could include different starting salaries for men and women doing similar jobs, inconsistent and arbitrary discharges or 11 promotions and transfers. Furthermore, a review of this information could indicate a need to either seek additional or new recruitment sources to obtain a wider selection of applicants. NOTE: Forms for monitoring practices and policies are available upon request from the City's Civil Rights Specialist SET GOALS Once the policy has been determined, and the practices are monitored accordingly to determine actual results, goals may need to be set if your workforce still falls short of having a representative number of minorities and females relative to their availability in the community. Goals to hire or promote minorities and females should be set once per year and these goals should be communicated to the appropriate employees. Increasing and/or improving your minority and female workforce representation can also occur through improved hiring and selection procedures, which have already been discussed, and through non - biased promotion, transfer and training policies. In regards to the latter three, companies must make sure procedures for selecting candidates for promotion, transfer and training are based upon a fair assessment of an employee's ability and work record. Furthermore, all companies should post 'and otherwise publicize all job promotional opportunities and encourage all employees to bid an them. w J OL � C- r C7 �. N w ti —r C� O y w 12 SECTION IV - DEFINITIONS The definitions typed in all capital letters refer directly to he City's contract compliance program. The other definitions are r your own information. AA: W Affirmative Action - AAP: Affirmative Action Program - an active, planned effort to bring more minorities and women into the organization at all levels through non- discriminatory hiring and promotions, and to apply the same benefits and opportunities to all workers. The affirmative action program is the practical action taken to implement the equal employment policy. ADVERSE IMPACT: A company may have a policy which, although applied neutrally, has a negative or adverse impact upon a particular group of employees. An example would be a minimum height requirement that is not job-related and could possibly eliminate a high percentage of Orientals and women. APPLICANT FOR EMPLOYMENT: A person who completes a formal application form, or by some other means (resume, letter, request, etc.) indicates a specific desire to be considered for employment. An APPLICANT LOG should record requests for employment made in person whether or not an application form is completed. APPLICANT FLOW DATA OR APPLICANT LOG: A numerical compilation of employment applicants showing the specific numbers of each racial, ethnic and sex group, who applies for each job title (or group of job titles requiring similar qualifications) during a specified time. AVAILABILITY: The percentage of minorities or women who have the skills required for entry into a specific job or classification, or who are capable of acquiring the required skills. BFOQ-Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications: The law allows employers to hire or promote by sex in rare cases where a worker of a certain sex is really needed for the job. This is interpreted narrowly, to mean that sex-related anatomy is required - for instance, it is legal to hire a man if you need a bass singer or a male model; a woman if you need a soprano or a model for women's clothes. It is not legal to specify a man for so-called "heavy" work; if it can be proved that there 1s no woman who can do the work; SFOQ may exist. The problem with the BFOQ is that employers may be trapped by stereotyped thinking into a belief that a job can only be done by one sex when that is not necessarily true - and the employer is then vulnerable to discrimination complaints. It is safer to test the capacity of individual applicants regardless of sex, making 13 sure that you test only for the qualities required by the job and not for more strength (or whatever) than is actually required. BLACK: The preferred term for people of Afro-American heritage. The term is a philosophy of life that indicates pride in the African heritage and culture, unlike the more outdated and sometimes derogatory terms "Negro" or "colored person." BUSINESS NECESSITY: A term sometimes used by employers who argue that sex is a BFOQ for a given job. Title VII gives "business necessity" to the BFOQ by saying, in Section 703(e): "It shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire... classify... or employ any individual... on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise." This is narrowly interpreted. For instance, one airline claimed flight attendants or stewardesses had to be women because a survey showed that passengers wanted comforting and friendliness from stewardesses, and women were better constituted than men to be comforting and friendly. The Court said this was not a business necessity. The airline was in business to transport people safely from one place to another. The flight attendant's job was not connected with the airline's major function and the "business necessity" arguments could not be used. Even if the flight attendants were all male and all surly, the airline could carry on its normal operation of safe transport. CHICANO: A male Mexican -American. The female is called "Chicana." Both are included in the larger group known as SSA's, or Spanish -surnamed Americans. CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964: Overall, the Act outlaws discrimination against women and minorities in employment, voting, public accommodations, public education, the use of public facilities, etc. This is a Federal act passed by the U.S. Congress. For affirmative action purposes, the point of interest is Title VII of the Act, which prohibits discrimination in employment and creates the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for enforcement purposes. Title VII was amended in 1972 to broaden the number of private employers. In addition, the EEO Act included state and local governments and political subdivisions under Title VII coverage, prohibited discrimination in Federal employment with enforcement given to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, and created a central coordinating body between all anti -discrimination enforcement agencies. • -v o P - co 14 COMPLIANCE: As used in this document, compliance refers to employment practices which are in line with the Iowa City Contract Compliance requirements. These requirements are indicated on pages 1-5. CONFIDENTIALITY: Information or reports obtained by or submitted to the Civil Rights Specialist in the course of monitoring the City of Iowa City Contract Compliance Program will not be disclosed to the public when such disclosure would serve no public purpose and would give advantage to competitors of the contractor from whom the report has been received; however, such information may be disclosed to a governmental agency conducting an investigation involving alleged illegal discriminatory practices and the contractor or parties charged in accordance with the Iowa City ordinance pertaining to Human Rights. CONTRACTING DEPARTMENT: The City of Iowa City department that is handling the particular contract. DEPARTMENTAL SENIORITY: In some companies, disadvantaged workers have traditionally been isolated in a few departments where jobs were poorly paid and promotional opportunities were nonexistent. The only way out was to transfer to another department, but some companies and unions specified as part of their collective bargaining agreements that workers who transferred could not carry their accrued seniority into the new departments. Instead, they had to begin as if they were newly hired workers. Disadvantaged groups have challenged policies of departmental seniority, saying the policies tend to lock them into the old departments and minimize their opportunity. Courts have generally agreed with the complaining workers. Furthermore, if the employer's intent is not discriminatory but the effect of the system is discriminatory; and if the employer is so notified but does not change the seniority system, the EEOC will deduce that the employer intended to discriminate. Antidiscrimination agencies and disadvantaged workers prefer plantwide seniority, which allows workers to maintain the seniority they have earned from the date of hire if they transfer to new departments. DISCRIMINATION: Illegal treatment of a person or group whether intentional or unintentional based on race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, o creed, marital status, sexual preference or disability. The term also includes the failure to remedy the effects of past discrimination. DISPARATE TREATMENT: Unequal or dissimilar treatment of employees similarly situated because of their race, sex, age, or other impermissable basis. J 2� P, co 15 �o o � EEO: =_ c A general term meaning "equal employment opportunity." — w EEOC: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal agency created by Title VII to enforce the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It also enforces the amendments passed in the EEO Act of 1972. The EEOC does not perform routine compliance reviews. Generally, it acts only when a complaint is filed against an employer by an aggrieved job applicant, employee, group of employees, or organization authorized to represent aggrieved employees. EEO -1 FORM: A form which must be filled out byrp ivate employers with 100 or more employees and sent to the EEOC once a year. Employers report how many minorities and women they have as officials and managers; professionals; technicians; sales personnel; office and clerical workers; skilled craftsmen; semi -skilled operatives; laborers; service workers. EEO -2 FORM: Corresponding form on apprentices in each trade or craft, broken out by race and sex. This report must be filled out annually by joint labor-management _ap�renti�ceshi_p committees which have five or more apprentices, at easter one supporting employer with more than 25 employees and at least one union sponsor with 25 or more members or a union hiring hall. EEO -3 FORM: The same as EEO -2, but filled out each year by local unions. EXECUTIVE ORDER 11246: Issued by President Johnson in 1965. It says employers with government contracts or subcontracts may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion or national origin. Sex was omitted in this order, but added by Executive Order 11375. Therefore, many people refer to this order as "Executive Order 11246 as amended." GOAL: A target number or percent of women and minorities to be hired, promoted or transferred to various job classifications (as defined on pages 7 and 8) within a given period of time. The number is usually computed by the number of available and qualified disadvantaged workers in the labor area. A "goal" should not be confused with a "quota." A quota is a ceiling figure designed to require hiring a certain number of a particular group to the exclusion of others. "We will take up to 10% women in this job category but no more." A goal is a floor, a minimum number of people to be included in -- e.g., "we will take at least 10% women in this job category." A quota may be designed to keep things basically as they were, including only token numbers of the "others". A quota may or may not be appropriate under law, depending on whether past discrimination existed. A goal is designed to alter the status 16 quo over time. Setting and achieving goals turns a company's equal employment opportunity statement into a reality. GO00 FAITH EFFORT: Employers sometimes say they have made a good faith effort in affirmative action but "we could not find any qualified...". Courts tend to look carefully at this defense on the basis that regardless of intent, if workers have been hurt the law must make them whole. Accordingly, good faith efforts should be made in all areas of employment including but not limited to: a. employment advertisements b. internal and external dissemination of the company's EEO policy and affirmative action program C. designation of a company EEO officer d. development of and implementation of non -biased employment practices (hires, promotions, transfers, discharges, employee benefits, etc.). Employers must keep a written record of such actions in order to show good faith effort. NOTE - For more detailed information please discuss this with the City's Civil Rights Specialist. JOB-RELATED QUALIFICATIONS If an employer says a High School degree is needed for the job, it must be true. The employer may have to prove that it is impossible for the large majority of workers to do the job adequately without a High School degree. At one time, employers often required higher skills than necessary'in a conscious effort to keep out disadvantaged applicants; others required the higher skills without discriminatory intent but the result was the same. The new emphasis on job-related qualifications makes room for employers to demand the skills they do require, but forbids the old, unnecessary escalation. MINORITIES: All persons classified as American'Indian, Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Black or Hispanic. - w e _. NEW HIRE: ""-_' rn -v A worker added to an establishment's payroll for the first time. OFCCP: The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, U.S. Department of Labor. It is responsible for enforcing Executive Order 11246 as amended. OLD BOY NETWORK: Slang term which refers to hiring by word of mouth, which used to be the way the good job openings were known only by white males. Therefore it was only white males who got them. The word "old" in this usage does not refer to age, but to long acquaintances. Affirmative action tries to weaken the exclusionary effect of the 17 network by requiring employers to actively recruit in minority and women's organizations and media, and by requiring goals for the hiring and promotion of minorities and women. PROTECTED CLASS CATEGORIES: Those groups of people protected by the laws against discrimination. In Iowa City, the protected categories are: race, color, creed, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, marital status and sexual preference. The latter two categories are not included in the area of housing. (Sexual harassment has been determined to be a discriminatory practice affecting both males and females.) RECOMMENDATION FOR COMPLIANCE: The recommendation made by the Civil Rights Specialist to the appropriate persons certifying that a contractor has satisfactorily completed all bid conditions, as specified by the City of Iowa City Contract Compliance Program. RECRUITMENT: A search for job applicants. Help wanted ads and contacting employment agencies are typical recruitment steps. REHIRE: To return a worker to the payroll after a complete break in service. REMEDIAL ACTION: Actions undertaken by an employer to remedy the effects of past discrimination. Often it is affirmative action but in more stringent doses. For instances, if black workers are 25% of the workforce in a contractor's labor area, affirmative action might require that the contractor hire 25% black workers. Remedial action might be to hire 50% black workers until the contractor is at parity, or 25% black workers in all job categories. REQUISITE SKILLS: Those skills that make a person eligible for consideration for employment in a job. REVISED ORDER: Guidelines issued by the OFCCP outlining what employers must do to comply with Executive Order 11246 as amended. REVISED ORDER 14: Internal guidelines issued by the OFCCP which instruct their own compliance officers in conducting a compliance review. The order also outlines what documents employers must make available to the government's compliance officer. SELECTION: The hiring process which comes after recruitment and interviews.'E;n this step the employer decides who will get the job. i—" N, W i L' D ca c is SSA: Spanish -surnamed American. SYSTEMATIC DISCRIMINATION: One or more practices which have many discriminatory off -shoots so that an entire organization screens out disadvantaged workers in the end. An example would be department seniority, described on page 14. TIMETABLES: A time frame within which an employer tries to reach the established affirmative action goals. UNDERUTILIZATION: Employment of members of a race, ethnic or sex group in a job or job group at a rate below their availability within the company's recruitment area. Depending on the job, recruitment area may be local, regional or national. VALIDATION: Process of determining whether tests given for employment in a certain job actually predict good or bad performance on the job. (See "Job -Related Qualifications" on page 16.) Validation is designed to eliminate false criteria which screen out disadvantaged groups. At the same time, validation protects the employer's right to hire only those workers who are qualified. The validation is ordinarily done by an independent organization with expertise in that area. WORD-OF-MOUTH ADVERTISING: Similar to Old Boy Network. Employers run the risk of perpetuating the effects of past discriminatory practices if they maintain a word- of-mouth recruitment policy. Since this policy relies upon current employees informing friends and relatives of vacancies, and since past discrimination often has substantially restricted minority group representation in an employer's workforce, it follows that non -minorities will be included in the flow of information regarding job openings at a higher rate than minorities. Such discrimination may also result from word-of-mouth recruiting, as where information about job openings is disseminated by male department heads limiting the likelihood that females will be apprised of employment opportunities.
