<br /> Equal Employment Opportunity is a high priority with the City of Batesville.
<br /> Employment decision including recruiting, hiring, transfer, promotion, training,

<br /> will be made on the basis of an individual's skills, knowledge, abilities, job
<br /> performance, and other legitimate qualifications in accordance with state and
<br /> federal laws.
<br /> It is prohibited for any employee of the City of Batesville to refuse to hire, train,
<br /> promote, or provide equitable employment conditions to any employee or
<br /> applicant, or to discipline or dismiss an employee solely on the basis of such

<br /> beliefs, or physical handicap, except where the doctrine of business necessity or
<br /> a bona fide occupational qualification can reasonably be demonstrated.
<br /> In establishing this policy, the City of Batesville recognizes the need to initiate
<br /> and maintain personnel measures to ensure the achievement of equal
<br /> employment opportunities in all aspects of our workplace settings, conditions,

<br /> carry out the letter, spirit, and intent of the City's equal employment commitment.

<br /> management without fear of retaliation.
