EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
Big River is an Equal Opportunity Employer that does not discriminate on the basis of
actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship
status, age, sex or gender (including pregnancy, childbirth, pregnancy-related
conditions, and lactation), gender identity or expression (including transgender
status), sexual orientation, marital status, military service and veteran status, physical
or mental disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by
applicable federal, state, or local laws and ordinances. Big River's management
team is dedicated to this policy with respect to recruitment, hiring, placement,
promotion, transfer, training, compensation, benefits, employee activities, access to
facilities and programs, and general treatment during employment.
Any employees with questions or concerns about equal employment opportunities
in the workplace are encouraged to bring these issues to the attention of the Head
of Human Resources. Big River will not allow any form of retaliation against
employees who raise issues of equal employment opportunity. If employees feel they
have been subjected to any such retaliation, they should contact the Head of
Human Resources. To ensure the workplace is free of artificial barriers, violation of this
policy including any improper retaliatory conduct will lead to discipline, up to and
including discharge. All employees must cooperate with all investigations
conducted pursuant to this policy.

governing reasonable accommodations of individuals, including, but not limited to,

reasonable accommodation to applicants and employees who have requested an
