Job Duties During your six-month introductory period, your supervisor will review your job responsibilities and job performance standards expected of you. Be aware that your job responsibilities may change at any time during your employment. From time-to-time you may be asked to perform additional work necessary to the operation of your department or the Village. Your cooperation and assistance in performing such additional work is expected. A current position description will be maintained and will be accessible to you. Job Postings Open positions are ordinarily posted for at least seven days. The VOP may also simultaneously advertise for internal and external applicants. Multiple Positions If you work for more than one VOP department, all hours worked at the VOP must be aggregated for overtime consideration if you are a non-exempt employee. An employee working simultaneously for the VOP as both an active employee and as an independent contractor, must be able to provide a tax identification number and establish the presence of a bona fide independent contractor relationship for work other than that performed as an active employee of the Village. Non-Discrimination and Harassment Free Environment The VOP is committed to a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect and dignity. Everyone has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal employment opportunities and prohibits unlawful discriminatory practices, including harassment. This applies to all applicants and employees, whether related to conduct between fellow employees or between employees and someone not employed by the VOP such as an outside vendor, consultant or customer. It is the VOP’s policy to support a work environment characterized by mutual trust, and the absence of intimidation, oppression and exploitation. Unlawful discrimination or harassment of any kind against any employee will not be tolerated. Discrimination The VOP prohibits any discrimination, harassment or retaliation. Retaliation The VOP encourages reporting of all perceived incidents of discrimination or harassment. Any such reports will be promptly and thoroughly investigated according to policy. Retaliation against any individual who reports discrimination or harassment or participates in an investigation is prohibited. Harassment Harassment is verbal, written or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility, aggression or aversion toward any individual. This includes, but is not limited to, harassment based on race, color, religion, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, and pregnancy-related conditions), national origin, age, disability, citizenship, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by law.
