Scope of Policy <br /> The Utilities prohibits harassment of any type or form. This policy prohibits same sex <br /> harassment as well as harassment by members of the opposite sex. In addition, this <br /> policy prohibits sexual harassment and any other form of harassment by any individual, <br /> including Utilities managers, employees, co-workers, and third parties such as clients, <br /> elected officials, consultants, contractors or vendors who deal with the Utilities' <br /> employees. <br /> Procedure for Reporting Harassment <br /> The Utilities wants to resolve any problems, but it can do so only if it is aware of them. <br /> The Utilities encourages any individual who believes he/she is being harassed to report <br /> any and all incidents of perceived harassment. <br /> If at any time you feel you are being harassed, you should immediately contact: <br /> your supervisor; and/or <br /> another Utilities manager (including any superintendent of the Utilities or other <br /> representative as defined in Section 22 of this Handbook); and/or <br /> the Human Resources Representative (at the City of Elk River). <br /> Any Utilities manager or other person who receives a report under this policy is required <br /> to communicate the matter to the Human Resources Representative immediately. <br /> Your report of harassment may be oral or written; in either case, it is important that you <br /> state that your report is being made under this harassment policy, or that it concerns <br /> harassment. You may choose to whom you make the report; that choice, however, must <br /> be made from the list of individuals named above. <br /> The Utilities will promptly investigate harassment complaints as appropriate, and take <br /> other appropriate action. Any person who is found to have committed prohibited <br /> harassment will be subject to corrective action up to and including termination. <br /> Confidentiality—No Retaliation <br /> The Utilities will strive to protect the confidentiality of information the Utilities receives <br /> pursuant to this policy to the extent feasible and to the extent permitted by law. <br /> Retaliation against any individual for making a good faith complaint under this policy, <br /> for opposing harassment, or for participating in an investigation of any claim regarding <br /> harassment or inappropriate behavior is strictly prohibited. <br /> If you feel that you have experienced such retaliation, you should follow the Reporting <br /> Procedure outlined in this policy. <br /> 5 <br /> elet0her-24H <br /> April 2013 <br />
