Voluntary Disclosures & Self Identify Questions

Individuals seeking employment are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation. You are being given the opportunity to provide the following information in order to help us comply with federal and state Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action record keeping, reporting, and other legal requirements.

Please complete the Voluntary Disclosure form below. However, if you wish not to disclose you are required to select that response. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

It is the policy of the New York Times (the “Company”) to recruit, select and employ qualified recently separated veterans, Armed Forces service medal veterans, active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans, and disabled veterans.  The Company complies with Section 4212 of the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002.

In accordance with these laws, the Company has developed affirmative action programs to employ and advance in employment qualified recently separated veterans, Armed Forces service medal veterans, active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans, and disabled veterans.  The Company will, where appropriate, consider reasonable accommodations for qualified disabled veterans.  If you are a recently separated veteran, Armed Forces service medal veteran, active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran, and disabled veteran and would like to be considered under our affirmative action programs, please complete the sections below.

Appropriate definitions of these terms are provided for your convenience.

Protected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA—the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment in order to perform service in the uniformed service, you may be entitled to be reemployed by your employer in the position you would have obtained with reasonable certainty if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the U.S. Department of Labor’s Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), toll-free, at 1-866-4-USA-DOL.

Providing this information is voluntary and refusal to provide this information will not subject any individual to adverse treatment by the Company.  The information provided will be used only in ways that are not inconsistent with the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended.

The information provided will be kept in strict confidence, except that (a) necessary management and supervisory personnel may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of disabled veterans and regarding necessary accommodations, (b) first aid and safety personnel may be informed to the extent appropriate, if you have a condition might require emergency treatment, and (c) government officials investigating affirmative action program compliance may be informed pursuant to the above cited laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act.  

We request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we make pursuant to the above cited laws.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. 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.
