Retaliation prohibited definition

Retaliation prohibited. Any discrimination or retaliation against an employee for lawful exercise of paid sick and safe leave rights is not allowed. Employees will not be disciplined for the lawful use of paid sick and safe leave under this policy. If an employee feels they are being discriminated or retaliated against, the employee may contact Human Resources.
Retaliation prohibited. Any form of retaliation, including intimidation, threats, harassment and other adverse action taken or threatened against any complainant or person reporting or filing a complaint alleging sexual discrimination, harassment, or misconduct or any witness to or person cooperating in the investigation of such allegations (including testifying, assisting or participating in any manner in an investigation) is strictly prohibited. No one making a complaint will be retaliated against even if a complaint made in good faith is not substantiated. In addition, any witness will be protected from retaliation. Complainants and witnesses have available whistleblower protections under the Illinois State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, the Illinois Whistleblower Act, and the Illinois Human Rights Act. Bad Faith Complaints: False and frivolous charges refer to cases where the accuser is using a sexual harassment complaint to accomplish some end other than stopping sexual harassment. It does not refer to charges made in good faith which cannot be proven. Given the possibility of serious consequences for an individual accused of sexual harassment, complaints made in bad faith or otherwise false and frivolous charges are considered severe misconduct and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination and/or expulsion from the College as determined by such administrative or Board action as is required by law, Board policy and procedure, and/or applicable collective bargaining agreement. Resolution Outside the College: Nothing in this policy precludes a report of discrimination, harassment or retaliation to the appropriate government agency. An employee has the right to contact the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) about filing a formal complaint.
