FBT EEO Policy

A NOTICE AND INVITATION TO ALL EMPLOYEES AND APPLICANTS

W.R. Robbins, CEO & Corporate President

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY STATEMENT

Farmers Bank and Trust has been and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer. To assure full implementation of this equal employment policy, we will take steps to assure that:

1. Persons are recruited, hired, assigned and promoted without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran’s status, age or disability.
2. All other personnel actions, such as compensation, benefits, transfers, layoffs and recall from layoffs, access to training, education, tuition assistance and social recreation pro-grams are administered without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, citizenship, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran’s status, age or disability.
3. Employees and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have: (1) filed a complaint; (2) assisted or participated in an investigation, compliance review hearing or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; (3) opposed any act or practice made unlawful by any federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity or (4) exercised any other right protected by federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity.

I have appointed Samantha Jacobs to take on the responsibilities of EEO Coordinator. As EEO Coordinator, she will be responsible for the day to day implementation and monitoring of this Affirmative Action Plan. As part of that responsibility, she will periodically analyze the Company’s personnel actions and their effects to insure compliance with our equal employment policy.

If you, as one of our employees or as an applicant for employment, have any questions about this policy, would like to review the Company’s written Affirmative Action Plan, or would like to be considered under our Affirmative Action Plan, please see Samantha Jacobs during regular business hours. This is also a reminder that employees may update their disability status at any time by contacting Gerrie Meyer.

I have reviewed and fully endorse our Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity program. In closing, I ask the continued assistance and support of all of the Company’s personnel to attain our objective of equal employment opportunity for all.

Sincerely,

W.R. Robbins
CEO & Corporate President

This Affirmative Action Program is effective from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
