Workplace Expectations
EPL prohibits discrimination, harassment, and retaliation in all employment practices, including recruitment, hiring, promotion, compensation, training, discipline, and termination.
This policy applies to all employees and applicants and is enforced in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws.
