Equal Opportunity Employer

Raymond James values diversity and inclusion and treats all individuals with respect based on their merit. The Company is an equal opportunity employer and makes all employment decisions on the basis of merit and business needs. The Company does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin, citizenship, religious creed, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, or related medical conditions), marital status, familial status, domestic partnership status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, veteran status, military status, family care or medical leave status, age, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, or any other basis protected by applicable federal, state or local law, rule, ordinance or regulation.

It is the responsibility of all Associates to follow this policy. Any Associate who violates this policy or engages in conduct that runs afoul of the spirit or letter of this policy, or our deep commitment to equal employment opportunity, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

This policy also applies to the selection and treatment of independent contractors (personnel working on our premises who are employed by temporary agencies) and any other persons or firms doing business for or with the Company.

Any person who believes he or she has been subjected to, observed, or has learned of any form of discrimination in violation of this policy, is expected to report the conduct to their Supervisor, Manager, or the Company’s Chief Human Resources Officer. Violations of this policy, regardless of whether or not an actual law has been violated, will not be tolerated. The Company will promptly and thoroughly investigate issues that are brought to its attention and will take appropriate corrective action.

The Company strictly forbids retaliation against any individual who raises a concern about discrimination, participates in an investigation of a complaint of discrimination, who assists with the preparation or filing of a charge of discrimination, who testifies or participates in an equal employment proceeding, or otherwise assists with a charge of discrimination.

California Supplement: Equal Employment Opportunity and Policy Against Harassment

In addition to the complaint procedures set forth in the Policy Against Harassment in Raymond James’ Associate Handbook, Associates also should be aware that the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) and the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (“DFEH”) investigate and prosecute complaints of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation in employment in California. Associates who believe that they have been subjected to unlawful discrimination, harassment, or retaliation may file a complaint with either of these agencies. The EEOC and the DFEH serve as neutral fact finders and attempt to help the parties to resolve disputes voluntarily. For more information, please feel free to contact Human Resources. You also may contact the local offices of the EEOC or DFEH, as listed in the government section of the white pages in the telephone directory.
