Equal Employment Opportunity Program

General Policy

It is the policy of this station not to discriminate in its employment and personnel practices, to provide equal employment opportunity to all qualified applicants, without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex or age, in all matters, including recruitment, evaluation, selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination. Discriminatory employment practices are specifically prohibited by the Federal Communications Commission. If you believe your equal employment rights have been violated, you may contact the FCC in Washington DC 20554 or other appropriate state or local agency.

Responsibility For Implementation

Jim Webster and Dave Keister of WVNI-WMYJ is responsible for the administration and implementation of our Equal Employment Opportunity Program. It is also the responsibility of all persons making employment decisions with respect to the recruitment, evaluation, selection, promotion, compensation, training and termination of employees to ensure that our policy and program is adhered to and that no person is discriminated against because of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex or age.

Policy Dissemination

To insure that all members of the staff and potential employees are aware of our EEO policy and their individual responsibilities in carrying out this policy, the following communications will be made:
When a job vacancy arises, it is the responsibility of each level of management to coordinate with the designated person at the station responsible for EEO compliance. For example, if a job vacancy arises in sales, the Sales Manager will coordinate regarding hiring procedures and enforcement of our EEO policy.

All employees will be given a copy of our EEO program.

Notices are posted, in easy view, on the bulletin board in the hallway informing applicants and employees that this station is an Equal Opportunity Employer and of their right to notify an appropriate EEO local, state or federal agency if they have been victims of discrimination.

Our employment application form contains a statement regarding our EEO program and non-discriminatory employment practices, as well as, a person's right to notify an appropriate EEO agency if they believe they have been victims of discrimination.

A statement regarding our Equal Employment Opportunity policy will be posted on each station's website.

Our annual EEO Public file report will be placed in the public inspection file and posted on station's website.

So that no segment of the community is inadvertently omitted from recruitment efforts, and in order to accomplish broad outreach, the following notice will be posted on station's website, broadcast on-air and advertised in the classified section of our local newspaper: "Stations WVNI-WMYJ are looking for organizations that regularly distribute information about employment opportunities to job applications or have job applicants to refer.
