Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) is committed to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) for all employees and potential applicants. To demonstrate our commitment to EEO, the RTC has developed an EEO Program. To ensure compliance with applicable state and federal regulations, executive orders, and laws, it is our policy to provide equal employment opportunity to all employees and applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation and pregnancy), age, genetic information, disability, veteran status, or other protected class, and to base all employment decisions so as to further this principle of equal employment. The RTC is committed to ensuring all employees and potential applicants are treated equally and fairly. To demonstrate our commitment, the RTC has developed programs to ensure all levels of equality, inclusion and diversity are being met in the workplace. In conjunction with the objectives of these efforts and in accordance with the various state and federal fair employment laws, rules, and regulations applicable to equal opportunity, the RTC has committed to the following principles:

1. To ensure that all employment policies, practices, and actions, included but not limited to recruitment or recruitment advertising, hiring, upgrading, selection for training, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation, and treatment of employees will be administered – without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex (including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pregnancy), age, genetic information, disability, veteran status, or other protected class, except where sex, mental or physical requirements constitute a bona fide occupational qualification necessary to perform the job.
2. To base decisions to further the principles of equal opportunity.
3. To ensure that all employment decisions are in accordance with the principles of equal opportunity.

Applicant and employee rights

All applicants and employees have the right to file complaints alleging discrimination. Further, the RTC recognizes its obligation to provide a workplace that is free from discrimination and recognizes that certain types of harassment may be unlawful, whether they are encountered as a condition of employment, employment decision, or where the conduct interferes with work performance or creates an otherwise offensive working environment. Any applicant or employee that feels they have been subject to unlawful harassment or denied equal opportunity has the right to file a complaint alleging discrimination or harassment with Dachresha Harris, EEO Officer, at 702-676-1514 or harrisd@rtcsnv.com. Applicants and employees may also file a complaint with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission (NERC), or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). If an employee chooses to remain anonymous, they may file a complaint through the RTC Safe Hotline at https://safehotline.com/.
