Equal Opportunity & Anti-Harassment Statement
The Pennsylvania SPCA is dedicated to the principles of equal opportunity and nondiscrimination. It is our policy to offer fair and equal opportunities to all employees and applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, veteran's status, or any other category protected under federal, state, and local law. We recruit, hire, evaluate, and promote individuals solely on the basis of their qualifications for the job to be filled. This policy extends to job assignments, working conditions, scheduling, benefits, wage and salary administration, disciplinary actions, termination, and social, educational, and recreational programs.
The PSPCA is dedicated to providing a working environment that enables each employee to work productively. We neither condone nor tolerate an atmosphere of intimidation or harassment based on any protected category, and we require the cooperation of all employees in maintaining a discrimination-free atmosphere.
Criminal History & Application Authorization
In accordance with our mission, the protection of animals, and public safety, the PSPCA conducts individualized assessments regarding criminal histories post-conditional offer. Convictions for animal cruelty, animal abuse, assault, burglary, theft, or sex crimes are considered substantially job-related conflicts and will generally disqualify an individual from employment. In alignment with Philadelphia and Pennsylvania regulations, criminal background inquiries are not part of the initial application screening. Applications and resumes are kept active and on file for one year, after which candidates must reapply for future consideration.
I authorize the investigation of all statements contained in this application. I understand that misrepresentation or omission of facts called for is cause for dismissal. Further, I understand and agree that employment with the Pennsylvania SPCA is "at-will," meaning that my employment is for no definite period and may be terminated at any time by either party, with or without cause or prior notice.
