Employee Sexual / Racial Harassment Policy

All employees have the right to work in an environment free from all forms of discrimination, including, but not limited to, sexual and racial harassment.

There are basically two forms of sexual harassment in employment, namely harassment linked to promises or threats concerning any aspect of a person's job, and harassment creating a hostile work environment. A sexually abusive, hostile environment is every bit as improper and illegal as a racially abusive, hostile environment.

Our Company feels that sexual and racial harassment is a form of misconduct which undermines the integrity of the employment relationship. No employee, either male or female, should be subject to unwelcome sexual advances or conduct or a sexually hostile work environment. We consider both sexual and racial harassment to be unacceptable behavior of a most serious nature, which may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

Should an employee at any time feel he or she is the victim of illegal discrimination or is the subject of racial or sexual harassment, any step in the complaint procedure can be disregarded if the affected employee feels that the person answering for management at that complaint step is guilty of the alleged illegal discriminatory act or acts. The affected employee may then directly by pass the supervisor and report the incident directly to the owner or owners. Our policy is to investigate all forms of harassment reported and consider this to be of a top priority and of a very serious nature. All sexual or racial harassment should be reported immediately regardless of whether or not the alleged harassment is by an employee, manager, visitor, vender, customer or others. Once an employee feels that a reportable offense has occurred, he or she is encouraged to report that alleged harassment promptly at the earliest moment.

Our employees reporting alleged incidents of harassment will not suffer any form of reprisal, and retaliatory action taken by an employee accused of harassment or of any other discriminatory conduct may result in discipline to that employee up to and including termination.

I have read, understand, and agree to the above policies regarding sexual and racial harassment. A copy has been provided me for my personal records.
