We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
