EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY (EEO) POLICY
All agencies and offices of the Archdiocese of Atlanta shall be non-discriminatory in service and
employment practices in accordance with applicable state and federal laws, insofar as such
laws are consistent with the beliefs, official teaching and doctrines of the Catholic Church.
Accordingly, it is the Policy of the Archdiocese of Atlanta and its agencies to insure equal
employment opportunity for all without regard to race, color, sex, national origin, age, disability,
genetic information, veteran status or any other non-job characteristic protected by applicable
law. With respect to religion, due to the nature of our organization, there are certain positions
where we will require that the person be Catholic. All of our employees are involved in
effectuating the religious purpose of our organization. As part of this non-discriminatory policy,
the Archdiocese of Atlanta and its agencies are committed to the following:
1. Recruiting, hiring, training and promoting for all jobs without regards to race, color,
sex, national origin, disability, genetic information, veteran status or other non-job related
characteristics protected by applicable law.
2. Insuring that promotion decisions are in accordance with equal opportunity requirements
by imposing only valid, job related requirements for promotional opportunities
3. Insuring that all personnel actions related to compensation, benefits, transfers,
terminations, training, and education are administered in a non-discriminatory manner.
Each employee is responsible for bringing to the attention of the Chancery Office of
Human Resources for the Archdiocese any employment decision they feel is in conflict
with the letter and spirit of this policy. Individual managers and supervisors are
responsible for insuring that their decisions are in compliance and will be held
accountable for the prompt execution of necessary preventative or corrective actions.
