IPS EEO Policy Statement

TO: All IPS Employees and Applicants

FROM: Dave Goswami

DATE: April 1, 2024

It is the ongoing policy and practice of IPS-Integrated Project Services, LLC (IPS) to provide equal opportunity in employment to all employees and applicants. No person shall be discriminated against in any condition of employment because of age 40 and over, color, disability, gender identity, genetic information, military or veteran status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or any other applicable status protected by state or local law.

The policy of equal employment opportunity (EEO) shall apply to all terms, conditions, and privileges of employment, including hiring, probation, testing, training and development, promotion, transfer, compensation, benefits, educational assistance, termination, layoffs, social and recreational programs, and retirement. IPS is committed to making employment decisions based on valid requirements, without regard to age 40 and over, color, disability, gender identity, genetic information, military or veteran status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or any other applicable status protected by state or local law. IPS will analyze its personnel actions rigorously to ensure compliance with this policy.

IPS will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against employees or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another employee or applicant. However, employees who have access to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other employees or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with the contractor’s legal duty to furnish information. 41 CFR 60-1.35(c)

IPS EEO coordinator is Anne Wanner at the IPS facility located at 721 Arbor Way, Suite 100, Blue Bell, PA 19422. She is responsible for compliance with state and federal EEO laws and affirmative action regulations. Anne is also responsible for implementing the IPS’ Affirmative Action Plan (AAP), including equal employment practices, monitoring, and internal reporting. If you believe you have not been treated in accordance with this policy, please contact the EEO Officer. Our AAP for Veterans and the Disabled is available to you in her office during regular office hours or by appointment. All employees and applicants for employment are protected, by both company policy and equal employment opportunity/affirmative action regulations and law, from coercion, intimidation, interference, or discrimination for filing a complaint or assisting in an investigation.

I personally endorse the policy of equal employment opportunity. I ask for your continued assistance and support in maintaining an environment that reflects IPS commitment to equal and affirmative action. All personnel with responsibility for employment and personnel decisions are directed to perform their duties in accordance with this policy.
