Harassment includes all forms of offensive or unwelcome physical or verbal conduct based on any of these factors that unreasonably interferes with an employee’s work or creates an offensive or hostile working environment.
Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment of all types is specifically prohibited. Sexual harassment of employees in the workplace is illegal, unacceptable, and will not be tolerated. This policy applies to all employees of the Company. It shall also apply to customers, vendors, and other persons in the workplace whom the Company knows or has reason to know is violating this policy, provided the Company has sufficient control over the individual’s actions. All personnel are expected to avoid any conduct that could be construed as unlawful harassment by any employee.
Complaints
Any employee, who believes he or she has been unlawfully harassed, or has any other complaint under this policy, should bring the matter to the attention of supervision Management immediately, and provide a full and accurate report of the underlying facts. Employees are urged to report first to their immediate supervisor, but this is not required if the employee feels uncomfortable in doing so, or if the employee believes his or her supervisor is violating this policy. In all cases, employees are free to report such problems directly to any officer of the Company, the Human Resources Department or the President. Employees are encouraged but not required to present their complaints in writing, and should identify any witnesses, as well as any relevant documents or other evidence.
(Please see detailed Company policy on sexual harassment.)
