HARASSMENT POLICY
Discussion
A
policy on harassment covers forms of harassment other than those of a
sexual nature. Harassment based on age, race, religion, national
origin, and mental and physical handicap are controlled by federal and
state law. Employees should know that the NPC is committed to a
harassment free workplace. It is often best to distinguish the
organization’s sexual harassment separate from its general harassment
policy to ensure that anyone looking for a sexual harassment policy will
be able to locate it easily.
Sample Policy
The Nonprofit
Organization does not condone or excuse harassment of any kind.
Nonprofit Organization policy prohibits employees from
discriminating against or harassing their colleagues based on gender,
sexual preference, religion, mental or physical impairment, age, race,
marital status, creed, color, or national origin. The Nonprofit
Organization will take immediate steps to address complaints of
racist or ethnic slurs, or harassment based on age, disability, sexual
preference, or any characteristic protected by law.
An
employee who believes he or she has been the victim of any kind of
harassment should report the incident immediately to his or her
supervisor or to the director of human resources or to the Executive
Director. The director of human resources will investigate all such
complaints.
