in accordance with the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's
<br /> Guidelines on Discrimination Because of Sex, "disabilities caused or contributed
<br /> to by pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, child-birth, and recovery therefrom" are
<br /> temporary disabilities and should be treated as such for all job related
<br /> purposes. Leave policies shall be applied to disabilities caused by pregnancy
<br /> on the same terms and conditions as they are applied to other temporary
<br /> disabilities.
<br />
<br /> A pregnant employee is entitled to use all paid leave which she has
<br /> accumulated (sick, annual or a combination of both types) for maternity reasons.
<br /> If additional leave is desired, it may be granted without pay. The point at
<br /> which maternity leave should begin and the proper time for the employee to
<br /> return to work after delivery are a matter for the employee and her physician
<br /> to determine.
<br />
<br /> At a reasonable time prior to her absence for maternity reasons, the
<br /> employee should indicate to her supervisor and/or the CETA Administrator whether
<br /> or not she intends to resume her employment with the organization.
<br />
<br /> Section 9. Goals and Timetables
<br />
<br /> Immediate action should be taken to assure that salaries and benefits are
<br /> the same for all employees who perform substantially similar work. In addition,
<br /> neither age, sex, race, religion, national origin, or physical handicap shall
<br /> be a factor in placing employees in jobs with different pay levels or opportu-
<br /> nities for advancement.
<br />
<br /> Long range goals should also be established to eliminate employment
<br /> discrimination. Annual targets should be set, based upon anticipated turnover,
<br /> expansion or contraction and availability of qualified persons. Similar
<br /> considerations shall be aimed at increasing the number of employees in the
<br /> groups identified as under-represented in each major job description.

<br /> WHEREAS, the Cabarrus County Commissioners will be eligible for State
<br /> grants up to 25% of the cost of water and sewer projects, in addition to Federal
<br /> grants, if the voters approve these bonds; and

<br /> local share of the cost of constructing and improving the county water and
<br /> sanitary sewer systems, without requiring an increase in State or local taxes; and
