Common use of NO DISCRIMINATION/NO HARASSMENT Clause in Contracts

NO DISCRIMINATION/NO HARASSMENT. 39.01 For the purposes of this Agreement, harassment is defined as any improper conduct by an individual that is directed at and offensive to another person or persons in the workplace, and that the individual knew or ought reasonably to have known would cause offence or harm. It comprises any objectionable act, comment or display: (a) when such conduct might reasonably be expected to cause offense or humiliation to another person or group; (b) when submission to such conduct is made, either implicitly or explicitly, a condition of employment or is used as a basis for any employment decision; or (c) when such conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Harassment includes, but is not limited to sexual harassment and workplace violence. Reasonable action taken by the employer or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or a work site is not harassment. 39.02 An Employee who has a complaint of discrimination or harassment has a responsibility to document the incident and advise the offender that his or her actions are unwanted and improper. If the Employee is uncomfortable or feels intimidated about confronting the offender, the Employee shall contact her immediate supervisor, the Department Head, Human Resources or Union Representative for assistance. 39.03 The Employer will not disclose the circumstances related to an incident of harassment or the names of the parties involved (including the complainant, the person alleged to have committed the harassment, and any witnesses) except where necessary to investigate the incident, to take corrective action, to inform the parties involved in the incident of the results of the investigation and corrective action taken, or as required by law. 39.04 If an Employee submits a complaint of discrimination or harassment the Employer shall conduct an investigation in accordance with the Employer’s policy and Employees are required to cooperate with the investigation. All complaints will be dealt with promptly and in a confidential manner. Investigations will be concluded within ninety (90) days from the date of the complaint unless documented circumstances warrant an extension and agreement from the Union is received. 39.05 If the investigation determines that discrimination or harassment has occurred, the Employer may impose disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. 39.06 The Employer will not tolerate any form of retaliation against an employee who, in good faith, makes a complaint of discrimination or harassment. If an Employee acts in bad faith in making a complaint of discrimination or harassment, disciplinary action, up to and including discharge, may be imposed by the Employer against such Employee. 39.07 Nothing in this Article prevents Employees who believe they are being harassed or discriminated against from filing a complaint under the Alberta Human Rights Act or a grievance as per Article 12. 2019 Grid Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 5 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 0 Xxxxx 10 Admin.
