Discrimination and Harassment Prevention Policy

IDOR effectiveness is attributed to our ability to communicate with each other in a manner that is respectful, professional, and courteous to others in the workplace that support collaboration and cooperation of all employees. This should be demonstrated through free expression and exchange of individual's ideas and concerns, and the fair and timely resolution of conflict should it arise.

It is the agency's position that all employees have a right to work in an environment free of discrimination or harassment. The department prohibits discrimination or harassment in all of its forms by employees, managers, supervisors, co-workers, customers, or contractors. This policy is designed to promote a safe and healthy work environment and to comply with multiple laws that prohibit discrimination, including:

  • the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 
  • Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 
  • the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act, 
  • the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 
  • the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 
  • the Age Discrimination Act of 1975, 
  • the Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978, 
  • the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-employment Act, 
  • the Vietnam-Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, 
  • the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and
