Such equal opportunity for employment will apply to recruitment and hiring, training, promotion, salaries and other compensation, transfers and layoffs or termination. As a religious organization, a branch of the Christian church, The Salvation Army reserves the right to impose qualifications based on religion if such qualifications are related to a bona fide religious purpose or are otherwise permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, by accepting employment with The Salvation Army, an individual recognizes that The Salvation Army is a church, agrees to do nothing to undermine its religious mission, and acknowledges that his or her conduct must not conflict with or undermine the religious programs of The Salvation Army, or its religious and moral purposes. Contracts executed by The Salvation Army to provide federally funded social services do not involve the procurement by the federal government of "personal property" and/or "non-personal services" for the direct benefit or use of a federal agency, and therefore do not subject The Salvation Army to regulations as a "contractor" pursuant to 41 C.F.R.
