The WMSC is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace.  All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to and will not be discriminated against based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family responsibilities, genetic information, disability, matriculation, political affiliation or any other classification protected by federal, state or local law. The WMSC is dedicated to building a culturally diverse employee base committed to working in a multicultural environment and strongly encourages applications from women and minorities.

The WMSC participates in the federal government’s E-Verify program.  E-Verify confirms employment authorization of all newly hired employees through an electronic database maintained by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. The E-Verify process is completed in conjunction with a new hire’s completion of the Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) upon commencement of employment. E-Verify is not used as a tool to pre-screen candidates. The WMSC also requires employees to abide by its conflict of interest policy, which can be obtained HERE.
