Harassment
Mitten, Inc. has a continuing commitment to providing its employees with a productive and safe work environment. To this end, Mitten, Inc. endorses the principle that employees are to be treated with dignity and respect, free from verbal or physical discriminatory harassment ("harassment"). Harassment of any employee by a coworker, supervisor, customer or vendor is not condoned in the day-to-day environment, or outside the workplace. Harassment is considered an act of misconduct which will result in disciplinary action up to and including immediate discharge if the situation warrants. All supervisors and managers are responsible for implementing and monitoring compliance with this policy.

Harassment is unwelcome or unsolicited sexual, physical, verbal or written conduct which creates or contributes to a hostile or offensive work environment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or adversely affects an individual's employment opportunity. Harassment is also verbal or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual because of his/her race, color, religion, national origin, age or disability, or that of his/her relatives, friends, or associates.

Inquiries and/or complaints will be investigated immediately by the General Manager or Human Resources. Any investigation will be conducted in as confidential a manner as is compatible with a thorough investigation of the complaint. Retaliation against any employee for complaining of or reporting harassment, or against any employee for assisting in providing information relevant to a claim of harassment made by a fellow employee, is strictly prohibited and deemed a violation of this policy.
