(1) The contractor will not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
<br />because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The
<br />contractor will take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that
<br />employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex,
<br />sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. Such action shall include, but not be
<br />limited to the following:
<br />Employment, upgrading, demotion, or transfer; recruitment or recruitment
<br />advertising; layoff or termination; rates of pay or other forms of compensation;
<br />and selection for training, including apprenticeship. The contractor agrees to
<br />post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants for
<br />employment, notices to be provided setting forth the provisions of this
<br />nondiscrimination clause.
<br />(2) The contractor will, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by or on
<br />behalf of the contractor, state that all qualified applicants will receive consideration for
<br />employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or
<br />national origin.
<br />(3) The contractor will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against any employee
<br />or applicant for employment because such employee or applicant has inquired about,
<br />discussed, or disclosed the compensation of the employee or applicant or another employee
<br />or applicant. This provision shall not apply to instances in which an employee who has access
<br />to the compensation information of other employees or applicants as a part of such
<br />employee's essential job functions discloses the compensation of such other employees or
<br />applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to such information, unless such
<br />disclosure is in response to a formal complaint or charge, in furtherance of an investigation,
<br />proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or is
<br />consistent with the contractor's legal duty to furnish information.
<br />(4) The contractor will send to each labor union or representative of workers with which he has a
<br />collective bargaining agreement or other contract or understanding, a notice to be provided
<br />advising the said labor union or workers' representatives of the contractor's commitments
<br />under this section, and shall post copies of the notice in conspicuous places available to
<br />employees and applicants for employment.
<br />(5) The contractor will comply with all provisions of Executive Order 11246 of September 24,
<br />1965, and of the rules, regulations, and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor.
<br />(6) The contractor will furnish all information and reports required by Executive Order 11246 of
<br />September 24, 1965, and by rules, regulations, and orders of the Secretary of Labor, or
<br />pursuant thereto, and will permit access to his books, records, and accounts by the
<br />administering agency and the Secretary of Labor for purposes of investigation to ascertain
<br />compliance with such rules, regulations, and orders.
