Lamont McClure announced today that Nortampton County is taking steps to make employment in Northampton County government fairer and more inclusive. Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) for employees and job applicants already exist with respect to protections for race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, marital status, sex, age, non-job related disability and any other status protected by State, Federal or local law. McClure is adding protections for gender identity, gender expression, and genetic information. Reasonable accommodations will be made for qualified employees with physical and/or mental impairments, adhering to the tenets of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The Office of Human Resources will expand recruitment efforts to attract an adequate number of candidates for open positions.
“It is in the interest of the County to attract the best candidates,” McClure said. “We need our policies to reflect our goals of being inclusive and welcoming.”
The McClure administration is also adding an appeal procedure to its Harassment Prevention Policy to ensure County employees feel protected when they file grievances.
The new policies take effect on June 1, 2018.

This is news? In what universe?
Mancruah Alert!
What is he going to do about the low morale? Just as bad as when Brown ran the place!
Morale is always low. This is a government workforce.
Government workers are generally overpaid especially when considering benefits vs private industry. Therefore one would ask will the most qualified candidate be hired or will it be the most politically correct applicant?
O’hare you’re an idiot! This is news? This is the law you moron. This has nothing to do with McClure so get your nose out of his ass.
"Reasonable accommodations" will be made for disabilities? So why did they kick the Area Agency on Aging director to the curb while he was recovering from an illness? That man gave many years of dedicated service to Northampton County citizens.
Nobody kicked him anywhere,
