Equal Employment Opportunity Policy

Mental Health Kokua seeks to employ the best qualified individuals from the available labor force and strives to provide employment opportunities in a manner which does not discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex, age, disability, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, veteran/military status, marital status, sexual orientation, arrest and court record, except for offenses having a rational relationship to the position, or other reason protected by State or Federal law.

Mental Health Kokua will not refuse to hire or promote a disabled individual who is capable of performing the essential functions of the job, with or without reasonable accommodations, will not discriminate against a more qualified individual with a disability in any employment, including training, and will provide reasonable accommodations to enable such individuals to participate and/or enjoy any employment practice, term, condition or benefit of employment.

It is also an unlawful discriminatory practice for any employer to refuse to hire or employ or to bar or discharge from employment, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual in compensation or in the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment because of the above protected bases. Such unlawful discriminatory practices are prohibited under State and Federal Civil Rights laws.
