Equal Employment Opportunity

Arbon Equipment believes in Equal Employment Opportunity. Our success depends on the effective utilization of qualified people without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, sexual preference, marital status, status as a special disabled veteran or veteran of the Vietnam era, or any other characteristic protected by law. The Company is dedicated to a strong Affirmative Action Program.

The Company, through its managers, will ensure that hiring, promotion, training and transfer decisions uphold the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity by imposing valid position requirements only. The Company will also ensure all other actions, such as, but not limited to compensation, benefits, layoffs, return from layoffs, terminations, disciplinary actions, educational reimbursements, social and recreational programs, will be administered without regard to the above stated characteristics.

Arbon Equipment believes in and practices equal opportunity and affirmative action. The Manager of Human resources serves as the Company's Equal Opportunity Officer and has overall responsibility for assuring compliance with this policy. All employees are responsible for supporting the concept of equal opportunity and affirmative action and assisting the Rite-Hite Corporation, our parent corporation, in meeting its goals.

Arbon Equipment maintains its Affirmative Action Program for minorities, women, individuals with handicaps, special disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era. Any questions regarding this Program or the Company's Equal Opportunity Policy should be directed to the Manager of Human Resources.
