Discrimination &         Harassment Complaints

The Fund does not tolerate job-related harassment and discrimination. All Fund employees are prohibited from subjecting other Fund employees to sexual advances, racial slurs, or any other form of harassment. Such violations of this policy will not be tolerated and anyone found to have engaged in such behavior will be appropriately disciplined up to and including termination of employment.

If an employee experiences any job-related harassment and believes he/she has been treated in an unlawful discriminatory manner, the employee should report the matter immediately to his or her supervisor and/or the Director of Fiscal & Administrative Services. Supervisors should immediately report all discrimination/harassment complaints to the Director of Fiscal & Administrative Services. On receipt of the complaint, the Director will investigate the incident and will ensure confidentiality to the maximum extent possible. If after investigating the matter, it is determined that an individual is guilty of harassing another employee, disciplinary action up to and including termination will be taken against the offending employee. The Fund prohibits any form of retaliatory action against any employee for filing a complaint.
