Discrimination based on any of the above categories is strictly prohibited. Any employee who engages in such conduct is subject to appropriate disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination. CEI prohibits any form of retaliation against employees for filing a complaint under this policy or for assisting in a complaint investigation.

The individual with the disability should specify what accommodation is needed. The Human Resources Department will review the accommodation to determine if it is reasonable and to ensure it will not impose an undue hardship.
