The UPS was set up in 1975 by a special legislative act and is a program of public personnel administration for its members with two basic purposes:
- to provide equal employment opportunities to qualified applicants for public service jobs
- to promote efficiency and economy in the public service by hiring and retaining the best qualified persons available for County employment
The UPS (and its member agencies) is an Equal Opportunity Employer and operates under an Affirmative Action plan. It complies with the Florida Veterans' Preference Law, the federal Drug-Free Work Place Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Immigration Reform Act, and all other local, state, and federal laws relating to general employment and public employment.
