Equal Opportunity Employment
In accordance with state and federal law in the United States, Internews will not discriminate against an employee or applicant for employment because of race, physical or mental disability, color, creed, religion, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, ancestry, citizenship, veteran status, or non-job related factors in hiring, promoting, demoting, training, benefits, transfers, layoffs, terminations, recommendations, rates of pay or other forms of compensation. Opportunity is provided to all based on qualifications and job requirements.
Similarly, in line with UK employment legislation, anyone involved in recruitment, selection or interviews will take an unbiased approach regardless of the applicant¹s age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation. They will only ask questions which relate to the job and avoid those which are discriminatory, or which might be perceived as such.
Veterans preference under federal contracts
Veterans preference gives special consideration to eligible veterans looking for federal employment with the United States. Veterans who are disabled or who served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces during certain specified time periods or in military campaigns are entitled to preference over nonveterans in hiring under federal contracts managed by Internews.
