AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY STATEMENT

Cintas has been and will continue to be an equal opportunity employer. To assure full implementation of this equal employment policy, we will take steps to assure that:

a. Persons are recruited, hired, assigned and promoted without regard to race, religion, color, citizenship status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, veteran's status, age, genetic information or disability.

b. All other personnel actions, such as compensation, benefits, transfers, and access to training, are administered without regard to race, religion, color, veteran's status, citizenship status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, age, genetic information or disability.

c. Cintas will not discharge or in any other manner discriminate against partners or applicants because they have inquired about, discussed, or disclosed their own pay or the pay of another partner or applicant. However, partners who have access to the compensation information of other partners or applicants as a part of their essential job functions cannot disclose the pay of other partners or applicants to individuals who do not otherwise have access to compensation information, unless the disclosure is (a) in response to a formal complaint or charge, (b) in furtherance of an investigation, proceeding, hearing, or action, including an investigation conducted by the employer, or (c) consistent with the Cintas’ legal duty to furnish information.

d. Partners and applicants shall not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have: (1) filed a complaint; (2) assisted or participated in an investigation, compliance review, hearing or any other activity related to the administration of any federal, state or local law requiring equal employment opportunity; (3) opposed any act or practice made unlawful by any federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity or (4) exercised any other right protected by federal, state or local law requiring equal opportunity.

The HR Manager has been assigned the responsibilities of EEO Coordinator. As EEO Coordinator, the HR Manager is responsible for the day to day implementation and monitoring of this Affirmative Action Plan. As part of that responsibility, the HR Manager will periodically analyze the Company's personnel actions and their effects to ensure compliance with our equal employment policy.

If you, as one of our partners or as an applicant for employment, have any questions about this policy, please contact the HR Manager during regular business hours.

Todd Schneider, CEO of Cintas, has reviewed and fully endorses our Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity program.
