Employment Practices

Equal Employment Opportunity Practices

In order to provide equal employment and advancement opportunities to all individuals, ZS bases employment decisions on merit, qualifications and abilities. ZS does not discriminate in employment opportunities or practices on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, order of protection status, genetic information or any other personal characteristics protected by law.

ZS makes reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship. This policy governs all aspects of employment, including selection, job assignment, compensation, advancement, discipline, termination, and access to benefits and training.

Any employee found to be engaging in any type of unlawful discrimination will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.

Immigration Information

Since we are an international firm, applicants with fluency in foreign languages hold a significant advantage.
