HARASSMENT
This Company believes that each
employee has the right to be free from harassment because of age,
color, creed, national origin, or sex. Sexual harassment is defined
as the following:
Unwelcome physical contact; Sexually
explicit language or gestures;
Flirting, sexing, making propositions, or insinuations by females or males to either sex.

Uninvited or unwanted sexual advances;
or an offensive overall environment, including the use of vulgar
language, the presence of sexually explicit photographs or other

Sexual harassment can come from
supervisors, fellow employees, or customers. Men as well as women
can be victims of sexual harassment. This Company cannot stress
enough that it will not tolerate any form of sexual
harassment.
The Manager at each location is
responsible for dealing with harassment incidents, which includes
dealing with complaints that employees bring to his or her attention
and identifying harassing situations on his or her own. If a
complaint is brought to the Manager, then the Manager needs to
notify the Human Resource Department immediately. Complaints will be
investigated and if the allegation is sustained, the responsible
employee will be disciplined. If harassment continues, the
responsible individual will be terminated immediately. Responsible
customers who do not change their behavior after a polite request
from the Manager will be denied entrance.
If the complaint is against a Manager,
the complaint should be brought to the attention of the President or
Human Resource Department. If, at any point in this process, the
employee is dissatisfied with the investigation being conducted, the
employee is to bring the matter to the attention of the President's
office. |
