Therefore, Lamar County BOC prohibits discrimination against employees, applicants or any other legally covered persons because of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression), citizenship, genetic information, disability status, past, current, or prospective membership in the uniformed services or any other characteristic protected under applicable federal, state, or local law.

Lamar County Board of Commissioners participates in the federal E‑Verify program. In compliance with federal law, Lamar County uses E‑Verify to confirm the identity and employment eligibility of all newly hired employees. E‑Verify electronically compares information from an employee’s Form I‑9 with records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA).
Employment with Lamar County is contingent upon verification of identity and legal authorization to work in the United States. All new hires will be required to complete a Form I‑9 and provide appropriate documentation as required by law. Participation in E‑Verify does not replace the Form I‑9 requirement.
Lamar County is a Drug Free Workplace.
