Notice to Applicants and Employees

The Northern Kentucky Independent District Health Department (NKIDHD) maintains affirmative action programs to promote the employment opportunities of disabled individuals, disabled veterans and veterans of Vietnam era.  Employees and applicants may request a review of appropriate portions of the organization’s Affirmative Action Program through human resources or through their supervisor or division director.

If you are a disabled individual, a disabled veteran, or a Vietnam era veteran and would like to be considered under these programs, please let your immediate supervisor or division director know.  Although giving this information is voluntary, such a disclosure by you will enable the organization to further assist you in an appropriate manner concerning your employment.  Be assured that your willingness to provide such information will in no way result in adverse treatment.  Information obtained concerning employees will be kept confidential, except that (1) supervisors and managers may be informed regarding restrictions on the work or duties of disabled employees and disabled veterans and regarding necessary accommodations, and (2) first aid personnel may be informed, when and to the extent appropriate, if a disability might require emergency treatment.

The full Affirmative Action Program for Disabled Workers and Covered Veterans shall be available for inspection by any applicant or employee during normal business hours at the Human Resources office at our Grandview Drive location.
