Sexual and Other Unlawful Harassment

(Your Company) will endeavor to maintain a work environment that nourishes respect for the dignity of each individual. This policy is adopted in furtherance of that tradition.

It is against the policies of (Your Company) for an employee to harass another person because of the person's sex, race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, or other characteristic protected by law. Actions, words, jokes, or comments based on such characteristics will not be tolerated.

Consequently, it is against the policies of (Your Company) for an employee to sexually harass another person. Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: (1) submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment; (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual; or (3) such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or environment.

Any employee who believes that he or she is being unlawfully harassed should immediately contact their supervisor or a Human Resources Manager.

All complaints of harassment will be promptly, thoroughly and confidentially investigated and, where necessary, appropriate corrective action will be taken. Any person found to have unlawfully harassed another employee will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including discharge.

(Your Company) is committed to maintaining a work environment that is free of discrimination.  In keeping with this commitment, we will not tolerate any form of harassment or unlawful discrimination against our employees by anyone, including supervisors, other employees, vendors, clients or customers.
