Equal Opportunity Employer (EEO)

Chatham County Government is committed to fostering a diverse workforce that enhances the quality and perspective of the services we deliver to our residents and visitors. Our policy is grounded in the principle of treating all employees and applicants fairly and equitably, while respecting their privacy and constitutional rights. We strive to ensure equal pay for work of equal value and to acknowledge outstanding performance in all personnel transactions. Furthermore, we are dedicated to promoting equal employment opportunities, regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation, gender expression, color, religion, national origin, disability, age, protected veteran status, or any other non-merit factor. 

Exceptions to this policy are only made where religion or sex constitute bona fide occupational qualifications required by business necessity, and where disability does not unreasonably hinder satisfactory job performance, with or without accommodations. Chatham County is committed to safeguarding employees against discrimination to the fullest extent permitted by law, based on race, color, gender identity, age, disability, genetic information, marital status, political affiliation, whistleblower activity, parental status, and military service (past, present, or future). Furthermore, we prohibit retaliation against individuals for participating in Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) activities or opposing discriminatory practices.
