Equal Employment Opportunities

It is the policy of Anderson County Government that all persons have Equal Employment Opportunities without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin, ancestry, and physical or mental disability. Furthermore, it is the policy that all persons employed be entitled to training, compensation, promotions, benefits, and all other attributes of employment without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin, ancestry, and physical or mental disability.

In keeping with this policy, Anderson County Government will continue to recruit, hire, train, and promote into top job levels the most qualified person, without regard to race, religion, color, sex, age, national origin, ancestry, or non-job related disability. Anderson County Government will not discriminate on the basis of a person’s national origin or citizenship status with regard to recruitment, hiring, and discharge. However, Anderson County Government will not knowingly employ a person who is, or becomes, an unauthorized alien.

In compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, all new employees, and all applicants for employment, regardless of national origin, ancestry, or citizenship, must provide suitable documentation. All new employees must also complete a Federally mandated I9 in order to verify identity and employment eligibility. It is the responsibility of Anderson County Government to ensure that all policies and procedures provide equal and fair treatment to all Anderson County Employees.

If at any time an employee desires to file a complaint, please contact the Human Resources & Risk Management Director Kim Jeffers-Whitaker via email at kwhitaker@andersoncountytn.gov or stop by the Human Resources and Risk Management office.
