Report Employee Harassment
Have you been a victim employee harassment? If
so, we want to know about it.
EMPLOYEE HARASSMENT POLICY: The Company strongly
opposes any form of harassment by any Employee. This includes
harassing behavior based on religion, national origin, culture,
race, gender, sexual orientation, color or other differences.
Harassment may include sex harassment including requests for
sexual favors, obscene or profane language and any unwanted
action of a sexual nature by employees, co-workers or visitors.
Harassment may also include disparaging comments about another
person’s appearance, manner of dress, accent, or any behavior
that is abusive or offensive to another person and creates a
hostile work environment. Comments made in a joking manner may
easily be viewed to have hostile intent. It is wise to refrain
from this behavior. You are encouraged to report any act of
harassment at once. Any employee found to have engaged in
harassing conduct will be severely disciplined, up to and
including discharge. No employee will suffer retaliation in any
form connected with work for reporting acts of harassment.
THREE WAYS TO REPORT HARASSMENT ON THE JOB: If you
have been a victim of or have observed any other behaviors
listed here, we encourage you to file a report with your
immediate supervisor. If your supervisor is involved, please
contact the Human Resources Department. You are encouraged to
report harassment directly to our office (1-800-928-6648 Ext.
2130) or if you feel a member of management has not acted
appropriately with your complaint.
HERE IS WHAT WE WILL DO: Every complaint will be
promptly investigated. We will follow a specific list of
criteria when investigating a complaint to be certain we have
been thorough and fair. We may invite a neutral third party, who
specializes in investigation of sex harassment matters to assist
us. We may also require all parties to participate in
alternative dispute resolution.
OUR PROCESS IS CONFIDENTIAL: As much as is possible,
we will protect the identity of the charging party. When the
investigation is complete, appropriate remedial action will be
taken. The charging employee will be informed of the result.
Remember: We are unable to correct the situation, unless you
inform us of what is going on.
WE TAKE THIS PROCESS VERY SERIOUSLY: Please recognize
that an accusation of harassment is very serious. Any employee
who knowingly files a false claim of harassment against another
person will face severe discipline up to and including
termination. Any person who retaliates against an employee who
files a complaint will be discharged.
