Our EEO principles require that:

Termination

No staff member’s employment is terminated on the basis of any attribute that would contravene our EEO policy or any application Anti-Discrimination laws (eg race, gender, religion, sexual preference, marital status, pregnancy, age). EDG does however reserve the right to have an employee seek medical advice to ensure that he or she is able to perform the duties on a position where there may be danger to his or her health.

In the event of retrenchments or redundancies, all employees shall be treated fairly and equitably.
