Compliance - Equal Employment

Employment Discrimination at Work Hurts Everyone

Equal Employment Opportunity is critical to maintaining a city where residents want to live, work, and raise a family. 

The laws of the City of Canton protect individuals from discrimination at work based upon a person’s age, ancestry, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, and/or sexual orientation.

If you or someone you know feels that they have been discriminated against, report it!  You can contact us at (330) 438-4133 to have a private discussion about your situation - remember... Equal Employment Opportunity is the Law!

Bidder/Contractor Equal Employment Certification

In order to receive E.E.O. certification, companies must provide information verifying their compliance with Canton City Codified Ordinance 507.03.  To maintain contract bid eligibility, companies are strongly encouraged to remain in compliance with the city’s E.E.O. program throughout the term of the contract.

The Compliance Department reviews all Bidder/Contractor Employment Practices Reports, and may refuse a report if it incomplete or is submitted without authorized signatures.
