The Company does not and will not tolerate any type of harassment of our employees, applicants for employment, or our customers. Discriminatory conduct or conduct characterized as harassment as defined below is prohibited.
The term harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, and other verbal or physical conduct relating to a person's gender, ethnicity, race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, marital status, or any other protected classification that unreasonably interferes with a person’s work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile work environment.
Sexually harassing behavior includes unwelcome conduct such as: sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, offensive touching, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Such conduct may constitute sexual harassment when it:
is made an explicit or implicit condition of employment;
is used as the basis for employment decisions;
unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance; or
creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.
The types of conduct covered by this policy include demands or subtle pressure for sexual favors accompanied by a promise of favorable job treatment or a threat concerning employment. Specifically, it includes sexual behavior such as:
repeated sexual flirtations, advances or propositions;
continued and repeated verbal abuse of a sexual nature;
sexually related comments and joking;
graphic or degrading comments about an employee’s appearance or displaying sexually suggestive objects or pictures including cartoons and vulgar email messages, and
any uninvited physical contact or touching.
Such conduct may constitute sexual harassment regardless of whether the conduct is between members of management, between management and staff employees, between staff employees, or directed at employees by non-employees conducting business with the Company, regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
The Company will also endeavor to protect employees, to the extent possible, from reported harassment by non-employees in the workplace, including customers, clients, and suppliers.
Any employee who wishes to report a possible incident of sexual harassment or other unlawful harassment or discrimination should promptly report the matter to your supervisor.
The Company will conduct a prompt investigation as confidentially as possible under the circumstances. Employees who raise concerns and make reports in good faith can do so without fear of reprisal; at the same time employees have an obligation to cooperate with the Company in enforcing this policy and investigating and remedying complaints.
Any employee who becomes aware of possible sexual harassment or other illegal discrimination against others should promptly advise your supervisor.
Anyone found to have engaged in such wrongful behavior will be subject to appropriate discipline, which may include termination.
Any employee who files a complaint of sexual harassment or other discrimination in good faith will not be adversely affected in terms and conditions of employment and will not be retaliated against or discharged because of the complaint. In addition, we will not tolerate retaliation against any employee who, in good faith, cooperates in the investigation of a complaint. Anyone who engages in such retaliatory behavior will be subject to appropriate discipline, up to and including termination.
