Common use of Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Clause in Contracts

Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment. The VENDOR will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. The VENDOR shall adhere to acceptable affirmative action guidelines in selecting employees and shall ensure that employees are treated equally during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be limited to, the following: employment, upgrading, demotion or transfer, recruitment or recruitment advertising; layoff or termination, rates of pay or other forms of compensation; and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The VENDOR agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for employment, notices provided by the local public agency setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination clause. The VENDOR will cause the foregoing provisions to be inserted in all subcontracts for any work covered by this Agreement so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor, provided that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to contracts or subcontracts for standard commercial supplies or raw materials. The VENDOR agrees to comply with such rules, regulations or guidelines as the COUNTY, State or Federal agencies may issue to implement the requirements in this Article 13. As applicable, the VENDOR shall be licensed as required by law.
