COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY: To further our commitment to hiring applicants with diverse experience the City of Chicago has adopted the following ordinances 2-74-020 and 2-74-075. The ordinances provide a preference to applicants who meet minimum qualifications to be referred to departments for consideration.
To honor the commitment of our veterans, the City of Chicago has amended city ordinance 2-74-020 to bolster the hiring preference for individuals who have served in the United States Armed Forces and were discharged or released therefrom under Honorable Discharge or General Discharge (Under Honorable Conditions). The City of Chicago further recognizes an individual who has completed the term of their initial contract as a Reservist or member of the National Guard and is actively serving in good standing. Veterans who claim Veteran's preference must submit the following at the time of onboarding: DD214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty that must show the Veterans' character of service upon discharge. If an induvial is still in the Reserve or National Guard, a letter from the Commanding Officer, Unit Representative, or Personnel Staff Officer (S-1) stating the induvial is serving in "good standing" and has completed their first term of their initial contract.
To promote the social and economic well-being of residents in socio-economically disadvantaged areas which are disproportionately impacted by low household income, high poverty and high levels of unemployment, the City of Chicago has amended city ordinance 2-74-075 to include a hiring preference for residents of socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. Under section 2-92-390 of the municipal code, the Commissioner of Planning and Development is authorized to designate socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. These designations will be used to provide residents from within these areas a hiring preference. Unless otherwise prohibited by the hiring plan, collective bargaining agreement or federal state or local law and subject to the availability of eligible applicants, each referral list for a covered position shall include 25% of eligible applicants who are residents of socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.
