Equal Employment Opportunity Policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is the policy of the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to ensure a work environment free of all forms of unlawful discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or coercion, and to establish and maintain an effective equal employment opportunity (EEO) program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This program shall be based on merit, efficiency, and fitness as ascertained by competitive examination. The equal employment opportunity policy applies to all employees and applicants, and covers all aspects of the employment process, including: testing, hiring, disciplinary actions, evaluation, termination, training, promotion, assignments, and leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In accordance with state and federal laws, the DMV EEO program prohibits unlawful discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or coercion in employment, and provision of services based on age (over 40), race, sex, color, religion, national origin, political affiliation, ancestry, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical condition, or disability. DMV is also fully committed to protecting employee rights under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department shall immediately begin investigations by the EEO Officer or designee into allegations of violations of this policy. Findings shall be reported to the Director upon request and to the appropriate division’s Deputy Director, with recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also the policy of the department that each manager and supervisor is responsible and accountable for implementing this policy within his or her area of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please complete and submit a Discrimination Complaint Form (EXEC 50) (PDF)<\/a> when filing a discrimination and\/or sexual harassment complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Americans with Disabilities Act<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Discrimination against persons with disabilities is prohibited by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the nation\u2019s more than 43 million citizens with disabilities, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), PL 101-336, is an unprecedented opportunity to eliminate the barriers to independence and productivity. The ADA is modeled after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title V of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The bill was originally drafted by the National Council on Disability and is supported by every major disability organization and constituency group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The purpose of the ADA is to extend to people with disabilities civil rights similar to those now available on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, and religion through the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in services rendered by state and local governments (i.e., all government facilities, services, and communications must be accessible).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any DMV customer or employee who feels he\/she has been discriminated against because of their disability in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act has the right to a confidential presentation of their complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To file a complaint of discrimination, you should complete the DMV ADA Public Access Discrimination Complaint Form (EXEC 50) (PDF)<\/a>. These forms are available in every DMV office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
