Affirmative Action

For the complete Affirmative Action Policy refer to Section 2.12 of NKY Health's Guide to Personnel Policies..

NKY Health relies on its employees to self-identify their own demographics. We maintain information about each employee's demographics (gender, race, ethnicity, veteran status, etc.)  in it's Human Resources Information System (HRIS).

Please log into ADP's WFN (Workforce Now)  and check the appropriate boxes related to your demographics in the personal information section.

For assistance setting up and changing personal information see ADP's Workforce Now (WFN).

Employees are welcome to share NKY Health's job postings and/or asking anyone outside of NKY Health to refer candidates for employment.

When you share a job posting to solicit referrals, you must send a "Notice to Referral Sources" upon the initial request and annually on July 1 or the first business day after. 

Please cut-and-paste the language from the model notice below into an e-mail with the subject line "Notice to Referral Sources" and send it to the referral source with a CC to the HR Administrator.

FROM: fname.lname@nkyhealth.org (yourself)

SUBJECT: EEO Notice to Referral Source

Since you or your organization is a source of referrals for employment opportunities with our organization, we wish to take this occasion to restate, in writing, our employment policy.

Employment decisions will be evaluated on the basis of an individual’s skills, knowledge, abilities, job performance, and other legitimate qualifications. Equal Employment Opportunity is among the highest priorities for NKY Health.” 

In keeping with the above policy statement, we request that your organization refer qualified applicants to us without regard to age (40 or over), HIV/AIDS status, race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, family status, smoker status, and/or genetic information.
