The City of Macon is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer and is committed to providing a professional work environment that maintains employee equality, dignity and respect. In keeping with this commitment, the City strictly prohibits all forms of employment discrimination, whether based on race, color, religion, sex, ethnic background, national origin, age, disability or any other characteristic specifically protected by federal law.

The Compliance Officer's primary responsibility is to investigate employment discrimination complaints. Any City of Macon employee (past, present, or prospective) who believes he or she has been discriminated against must notify the Compliance Officer as soon as possible after the alleged act of discrimination to allow the City to investigate the complaint and take prompt, corrective action. The Discrimination Complaint Form is available on line and at the Compliance Office.

In addition to investigating employment discrimination complaints, the Compliance Officer also counsels employees seeking guidance regarding workplace conflicts, provides technical assistance to management, assists the HR Training Division, and carries out various other responsibilities and projects to ensure equal employment opportunity.
