EEO, Pay Transparency & Accessibility | NY Blood Center Careers

New York Blood Center Enterprises (NYBCe) has affirmed its commitment to equal employment opportunity and outlined its policies regarding accessibility and health safety. These policies, recently made available, detail the organization’s stance on non-discrimination and provide guidance for applicants and employees.

Equal Employment Opportunity

NYBCe explicitly states it is an equal employment/affirmative action employer. The organization prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, marital/or parental status, age, national origin, citizenship, disability, or veterans status. This commitment extends to any other classification protected by Federal, State, or Municipal Law.

Did You Know? NYBCe’s non-discrimination policy covers a broad range of protected characteristics, including gender identity and expression.

Accessibility for Applicants

NYBCe recognizes that individuals with disabilities may require assistance during the job application process. Applicants unable to utilize the online application tool or needing accommodation can contact Human Resources at 212 699-5222 or via email at [email protected]. Requests for assistance will be acknowledged only if related to a disability.

COVID-19 Vaccination Policy

While NYBCe encourages all employees to receive an updated COVID-19 vaccine, baseline vaccination is no longer a condition of employment for most positions. However, specialized staff providing services in hospital settings – specifically CAS nurses and PAT staff – are still required to comply with existing vaccine and booster requirements for those healthcare facilities and must provide proof of vaccination.

Expert Insight: The tiered approach to vaccination requirements reflects a balancing act between promoting employee health and adhering to the specific regulations of healthcare partner institutions. This could indicate a strategy to maintain operational capacity while navigating evolving public health guidelines.

The organization has also made a Pay Transparency Policy and an EEO Supplement available for review.
