FROM CHAD COTTET, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, S&K TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
S&K makes every effort to assure each applicant, employee, and party with whom we do business is a recipient of our personal commitment to equal opportunity and affirmative action objectives. It is, has been, and will continue to be the focus of S&K Technologies, Inc., to provide Equal Employment Opportunity without regard to disability, pregnancy, protected veteran status, or any other protected group. Further, it is the policy of S&K Technologies, Inc. to undertake affirmative action in compliance with all federal, state, and local requirements.
Our continued success depends heavily on the full and effective utilization of qualified persons. The S&K Executive Leadership Team will continue to direct our employment practices toward ensuring equal opportunity for all. S&K Technologies, Inc. intends that all matters related to all employment actions including but not limited to recruitment, hiring, upgrading, promotion, transfer, demotion, layoff, recall, termination, job titles, rates of pay or other forms of compensation and selection for training including apprenticeship, as well as all S&K Technologies, Inc. – sponsored social and recreational programs and all treatment on the job be free of unlawful discriminatory practices. In addition, employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion, or discrimination because they have engaged in or may engage in any of the following activities:
- Filing a complaint;
- Assisting or participating in an investigation, compliance evaluation, hearing, or any other activity related to the administration of the affirmative action provision of section 503, VEVRAA, or any other Federal, State, or local law requiring equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities or protected veterans;
- Opposing any act or practice made unlawful by section 503, VEVRAA, or their implementing regulations in this part, or any other Federal, State, or local law requiring equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities or protected veterans; or
- Exercising any other right protected by section 503, VEVRAA or their implementing regulations.
As a government contractor, we are obliged to keep records, make reports to the federal government, and develop a written Affirmative Action Program, which sets forth the practices and procedures which S&K Technologies, Inc. is committed to applying in order to ensure that its policy of non-discrimination and affirmative action is accomplished. This Affirmative Action Program is available for inspection by any employee or applicant for employment, during normal business hours, by contacting our Human Resources Department. Interested persons or any applicant/employee who feels that he/she has been the victim of unlawful discrimination in violation of this policy should contact Barbara Amato, the Senior Director, Human Resources, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. MST to 5:00 p.m. MST at bamato@hitchedhike.com for assistance.
While the overall responsibility for S&K Technologies, Inc.’s Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmation Action Programs rests, in the end, with the Chief Executive Officer, the administration and implementation of these important programs are the responsibility of S&K Technologies, Inc.’s Chief Administrative Officer, Josh Maki. Each manager, supervisor and employee are invited to join in the full support of the principles of equal opportunity and affirmative action and each is responsible to follow and ensure both compliance with the Affirmative Action Plan and positive results with regard to the S&K Technologies, Inc.’s policy on Equal Employment Opportunity.
