Equal Employment Opportunity; Disability Accommodation
To give equal employment and advancement opportunities to all people, we make employment decisions based on each person’s performance, qualifications, and abilities. ECC does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, ethnicity, disability, sex, age, national origin, sexual orientation, religious belief, gender identity, or any other characteristics protected by law.
Our Equal Opportunity policy covers all employment practices, including selection, job assignment, compensation, discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training.
In accordance with the Delaware Discrimination in Employment Act (DDEA) discrimination against an applicant or employee based on pregnancy, childbirth, lactation, or related conditions is not permitted. ECC will provide reasonable accommodations of known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, and related conditions, provided that the accommodation does not impose an undue hardship on the company. If you have a known limitation related to pregnancy that impacts your ability to satisfactorily perform your job, please inform your supervisor so that the process of identifying a reasonable accommodation can begin promptly.
If you have a question about any type of discrimination at work, talk with your immediate supervisor, department manager, human resources, or another management official. If we become aware that anyone has illegally discriminated, the person will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and ADAAA of 2008, ECC does not discriminate against qualified individuals with a disability with regard to any area of employment, including job applications, hiring advancement, discharge, compensation or training.
ECC provides reasonable accommodation to all disabled applicants and employees, where their disability affects the performance of job functions, unless making an accommodation would result in an undue hardship for the Company. Individuals will not be retaliated against for requesting or using a reasonable accommodation. All employment decisions are based on the merits of the situation in accordance with defined criteria, not the disability of the individual.
Code of Conduct
Employees and agents of ECC are expected to conduct business in accordance with high medical, moral, ethical, professional, and legal standards. It is the policy of ECC to ensure that our health care and ancillary staff maintains an awareness of their legal and ethical obligations.
Resident Rights: Patient Abuse/Neglect
The purpose of this policy is to protect the right of residents of ECC to be free from abuse, neglect, mistreatment, financial exploitation or significant injury. It requires ECC to comply with The Patient Abuse Law (Title 16, Chapter 11, section 1131, et seq.) and Title 29, Chapter 79, sections 7970 and 7971, all applicable state and federal statutes, rules and regulations pertaining to suspected abuse, neglect, mistreatment, financial exploitation, or significant injury.
