PayNW is committed to hiring and employment practices that foster a workplace free of racism or discrimination of any kind. We embrace diversity, equity and inclusion as fundamental to our company’s culture and critical for delivering successful outcomes for our clients. We are a company that serves employers, and we have a responsibility to create and model a just workplace and an opportunity to influence other businesses and partners to do the same. We seek talented, engaged individuals to join us regardless of race, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, ethnicity or cultural or family background. By embracing our diversity, we create a work environment where employees can thrive, do their best work, create value for the company and clients, and contribute to a more productive and prosperous business community and society. We will occasionally fall short of our full ambitions around diversity, equity, and inclusion. When that happens, we are committed to creating an environment of trust and engagement for our employees to help our company more fully live out these ideals.
