E.A.T. w/Culinary Professionals (EAT or Company) is committed to the principles of equal opportunity and diversity where employment is based upon individual skills, knowledge, abilities, job performance, personal capabilities and qualifications, in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local fair employment practices laws. 
Our policy strictly prohibits and does not tolerate discrimination against employees, applicants, interns, or any other covered persons because of their actual or perceived age, race, ethnicity, creed, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, gender, actual or perceived gender identity or expression, transgender status, sex, actual or perceived sexual preference or orientation, sexual or reproductive health decision making, national origin, alienage or citizen status, marital status, military status, including past, current, or prospective service in the uniformed services, genetic information, actual or perceived mental or physical disability, status as a victim of domestic violence, or any other protected characteristic as established by applicable law. 

Employment decisions can include hiring, firing, compensation, benefits, promotion, training selection, or other status or condition of employment.

To this end, we support and will cooperate fully with all applicable laws, regulations and executive orders in all of our employment policies, practices and decisions.  We will take affirmative action to assure equal opportunity for employment is provided with regard to all personnel actions.

The Company is strongly committed to this policy and believes in the concept and spirit of the law. Consistent with this policy, EAT will attempt to reasonably accommodate qualified individuals with a disability so that they can perform the essential functions of the job, unless doing so would create an undue hardship on the Company.

The Company will also attempt to make reasonable accommodations for the following circumstances: victims of domestic violence, sex offenses or stalking, pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions; and religious beliefs and practices. All employees share responsibility for the success of these programs.  All managers or supervisors are responsible for participating in the identification of problems, taking action to prevent harassment of employees, conducting and supporting career counseling for all staff members, ensuring that employees are afforded full employment opportunities and are encouraged to participate in all company-sponsored educational, training, and social activities.  All employees are expected to support our equal employment opportunity and affirmative action policies.  No one may use their lack of knowledge about these policies as an excuse for inappropriate behavior or decisions.

Moreover, employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have filed a complaint, assisted or participated in any investigation, opposed any unlawful act or practice, or exercised any protected rights. Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action must be part of the fabric of all personnel decisions at EAT.  We are proud to reaffirm our commitment to those ideals.
