NOTICE TO APPLICANTS AND EMPLOYEES
The City of Hopewell is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
To this end, the City of Hopewell maintains affirmative action plans for
minorities and women, the disabled and veterans of the Vietnam era,
special disabled veterans and other covered veterans. These plans, or
portions thereof, that will enable you to avail yourself of their benefits, are
available for inspection by contacting the Human Resources Director
during normal business hours.
This employer wishes to comply with Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973, as amended, and it’s implementing regulations, which require it to
take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified
disabled individuals. If you have such a disability and would like to be so
considered for purposes of this law, please identify yourself either
immediately or at any time in the future in confidence to the Human
Resources Director. Submission of this information is voluntary, and
refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The
information provided will be kept confidential, and shall be maintained in a
separate file and will be used only in accordance with Federal regulations.
This employer wishes to comply with the Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, and it’s implementing
regulations requiring it to take affirmative action to employ and advance in
employment veterans of the Vietnam era, special disabled veterans and
other covered veterans. In this regard, if you believe you may be covered
by this law and wish to be treated accordingly, please identify yourself
either immediately or at any time in the future in confidence to the Human
Resources Director. Submission of this information is voluntary, and
refusal to provide it will not subject you to any adverse treatment. The
information provided will be kept confidential and will be used only in

DEFINITION OF THE TERM “INDIVIDUAL WITH A DISABILITY” FOR
PURPOSES OF VOLUNTARY SELF-IDENTIFICATION:
“Individual with a disability” means any person who:
(a) has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one of
more major life activities;
(b) has a record of such an impairment; or
(c) is regarded as having such an impairment; however, such term does
not include any individual who is currently engaging in the illegal use of
drugs, when the City acts on the basis of such use; any individual who
is an alcoholic whose current use of alcohol prevents such individual
from performing the essential functions of the employment position such
individual holds or desires or whose employment, by reason of such
current alcohol abuse, would constitute a direct threat to property or to
the health or safety of the individual or others; any individual who has a
currently contagious disease or infection and who, by reason of such
condition, would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of the
individual or others or who, by reason of the currently contagious
disease or infection, is unable to perform the essential functions of the
employment position such individual holds or desires; any individual
who is homosexual or bisexual; or any individual on the basis of
transvestitism, transsexualism, pedophilia, exhibitionism, voyeurism,
gender identity disorders not resulting from physical impairment, other
sexual behavior disorders, compulsive gambling, kleptomania,
pyromania or psychoactive substance use disorders resulting from
current illegal use of drugs.
DEFINITION OF THE TERMS “VIETNAM ERA VETERAN”, “SPECIAL
DISABLED VETERAN” AND “OTHER COVERED VETERAN” FOR
PURPOSES
1. “Vietnam Era Veteran” means any person who: (a) served on active
duty for a period of more than 180 days, any part of which occurred
between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975, and was discharged or
released there from with other than a dishonorable discharge, or (b)
was discharged or released from active duty for a service-connected
disability if any part of such active duty was performed between August
5, 1964 and May 7, 1975. 2. “Special disabled veteran” means: (a) a
veteran who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of
military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws
administered by the Veteran’s Administration for a disability rated at
thirty (30%) percent or more, or rated at ten (10%) percent or twenty
(20%) percent in the case of a veteran who has been determined under
38 U.S.C. § 3106 to have a serious employment handicap; or (b) a
veteran who was discharged or released from active duty because of a
service-connected disability.
3. “Other covered veteran” means: individuals who served on active duty
during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign
badge has been authorized. Active duty for training as a member of the
National Guard and Reserve does not qualify an individual for
Protection.
