Affirmative Action and EEO

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY STATEMENT

Sysco Knoxville has been and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer.  To assure full implementation of this equal employment policy, we will take steps to assure that: 

a.         Persons are recruited, hired, assigned and promoted without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, citizenship, sex, veteran's status, age or disability. 

b.         All other personnel actions, such as compensa­tion, benefits, transfers, layoffs and recall from lay offs, access to training, education, tuition assis­tance and social recreation pro­grams are administered without regard to race, religion, color, veteran's status, national origin, citizenship, sex, age or disability.

c.         Employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have: (1) filed a complaint; (2) assisted or participated in an investigation, compliance review hearing or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; (3) opposed any act or practice made unlawful by any federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity or (4) exercised any other right protected by federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity. 

I have appointed Corinna Wills to take on the responsibili­ties of EEO Coordinator.  As EEO Coordinator, she will be respon­sible for the day to day imple­ment­a­tion and monitoring of this Affirmative Action Plan.  As part of that responsibil­ity, she will periodi­cally analyze the Company's personnel actions and their effects to insure compliance with our equal employ­ment policy. 

If you, as one of our employees or as an applicant for employment, have any questions about this policy or would like to be considered under our Affirmative Action Plan, please see Corinna Wills during regular business hours.

I have reviewed and fully endorse our Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity program.  In closing, I ask the continued assistance and support of all of the Company's personnel to attain our objec­tive of equal employment opportunity for all. 

Sincerely,

Tommy Dail

President
