This section is included in your selections.

All covered employers shall give absolute preference to qualified Indians in all phases of employment and training, including recruitment, hiring, upgrade, promotion, transfer, rate of pay, retention, and selection for training or apprenticeship.

Indian preference in employment means that if a qualified Indian is available, that person will be given preference over a qualified non-Indian in any phase of employment. A covered employer may not refuse to employ an Indian on the basis that a non-Indian is more qualified, so long as the Indian satisfies the threshold requirements for that occupational classification. [Ord. 58 § 4301, amended, 5/9/2019; Ord. 34 § 4301, adopted, 2/6/2014.]
