The Montana Department of Justice values the diverse backgrounds, skills, talents, and experiences people with disabilities bring to the workplace. The Department will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified employees and applicants with disabilities unless doing so would create an undue hardship.

Employees or applicants who need reasonable accommodations during the hiring process should contact June Henderson at jhenderson@mt.gov as soon as possible.

The Montana Department of Justice provides equal employment opportunities and will make hiring decisions based on individual competencies and qualifications and will not discriminate against employees or applicants based on the following protected classes: race, color, national origin, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, religion, creed, sex, sexual orientation or political beliefs in any aspect of employment.

The Montana Department of Justice will take affirmative action (AA) to equalize employment opportunities at all levels of Department operations where there is evidence that there have been barriers to employment for those classes of people who have traditionally been denied equal employment opportunity.

It is the policy of the Montana Department of Justice to provide preference in employment to disabled persons, veterans, disabled veterans, and veterans’ eligible relatives in accordance with the law.
