Section 27-120-1.2 - STATEMENT OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYMENT

The State of Mississippi is an equal opportunity employer and assures equal employment opportunities to all persons in compliance with state and federal law. In order to implement the State's equal employment policy and to assure non-discriminatory personnel administration, the Mississippi State Personnel Board promotes non-discriminatory practices and procedures in all phases of personnel administration and prohibits any form of unlawful discrimination. Equal employment opportunity can only be attained through State agency commitment to complying with all applicable laws affording equal employment opportunities to individuals. Accordingly, it is imperative that State agencies make all personnel decisions in accordance with Mississippi State Personnel Board policies, practices, and procedures.

Equal employment opportunity does not guarantee an employee any rights not otherwise provided by law.
