EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CLAUSE
In the event of the Subcontractor's non-compliance with the provisions of this Equal Employment Opportunity Clause, the
Illinois Human Rights Act or the Applicable Rules and Regulations of the Illinois Department of Human Rights
("Department"), the Subcontractor may be declared ineligible for future contracts or subcontracts with the State of Illinois
or any of its political subdivisions or municipal corporations, and the contract may be cancelled or voided in whole or in
part, and such other sanctions or penalties may be imposed or remedies invoked as provided by statute or regulation.
During the performance of this contract, the Subcontractor agrees as follows:
1.
That it will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion,
sex, marital status, national origin or ancestry, age, physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or an
unfavorable discharge from military service; and further that it will examine all job classifications to determine if
minority persons or women are underutilized and will take appropriate affirmative action to rectify any such
underutilization.
2.
That, if it hires additional employees in order to perform this contract or any portion hereof, it will determine the
availability (in accordance with the Department's Rules and Regulations) of minorities and women in the area(s)
from which it may reasonably recruit and it will hire for each job classification for which employees are hired in
such a way that minorities and women are not underutilized.
3.
That, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by it or on its behalf, it will state that all applicants
will be afforded equal opportunity without discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, marital status,
national origin or ancestry, age, physical or mental handicap unrelated to ability, or an unfavorable discharge from
military service.
4.
That it will send to each labor organization or representative of workers with which it has or is bound by a
collective bargaining or other agreement or understanding, a notice advising such labor organization or
representative of the Subcontractor's obligations under the Illinois Human Rights Act and the Department's Rules
and Regulations. If any such labor organization or representative fails or refuses to cooperate with the
Subcontractor in its efforts to comply with such Act and Rules and Regulations, the Subcontractor will promptly so
notify the Department and the contracting agency and will recruit employees from other sources when necessary
to fulfill its obligations thereunder.
5.
That it will submit reports as required by the Department's Rules and Regulations, furnish all relevant information
as may from time to time be requested by the Department or the contracting agency, and in all respects comply
with the Illinois Human Rights Act and the Department's Rules and Regulations.
6.
That it will permit access to all relevant books, records, accounts and work sites by personnel of the contracting
agency and the Department for purposes of investigation to ascertain compliance with the Illinois Human Rights
Act and the Department's Rules and Regulations.
7.
That it will include verbatim or by reference the provisions of this clause in every subcontract it awards under
which any portions of the contract obligations are undertaken or assumed, so that such provisions will be binding
upon such Subcontractor. In the same manner as with other provisions of this contract, the Subcontractor will be
liable for compliance with applicable provisions of this clause by such subcontractors; and further it will promptly
notify the contracting agency and the Department in the event any subcontractor fails or refuses to comply
therewith. In addition, the Subcontractor will not utilize any subcontractor declared by the Illinois Human Rights
Commission to be ineligible for contracts or subcontracts with the State of Illinois or any of its political subdivisions
