[Adopted 1-10-1995]
The York County Board of Commissioners, in recognizing
the individual rights of all employees to work and act without infringement
or harm upon their individual rights, either individually or collectively,
hereby approve and implement the following policy regarding sexual
harassment in the workplace.
It is the intent and purpose of the York County
Board of Commissioners to require all personnel to follow the requirements
and standards set forth under Federal Title VII and the Pennsylvania
Human Relations Act[1] principles with respect to the issue of sexual harassment
involving County personnel.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 43 P.S. § 951
et seq.
All County personnel are directed to advise
the County Employee Relations Director immediately of any acts or
actions, direct or indirect, that may constitute verbal and/or physical
sexual harassment, including but not limited to:
A.
Quid pro quo, occurring when employees are told that
unless they engage in social contact with their supervisor or someone
else with authority over them, they run the risk of being fired, demoted,
threatened or otherwise harassed on the job; and/or
B.
Hostile environment, occurring when the conduct of
others is severe enough that it makes the work atmosphere abusive
and hostile. Other activities that constitute "hostile environment"
include:
(1)
Discussing sexual activities.
(2)
Unnecessary touching.
(3)
Commenting on physical attribute.
(4)
Unseemly gestures.
(5)
Crude and offensive language.
(6)
Displaying sexually suggestive pictures.
(7)
Ostracizing workers of one gender.
(8)
Giving job favors to people who participate in consensual
sexual activity.
It is the intent of the Board of Commissioners
to immediately direct an investigation of any complaints and take
immediate affirmative action should it be required to eliminate such
acts committed by any County personnel that may be deemed to constitute
any form of sexual harassment.
All personnel should further be advised that,
after reasonable investigation, should the facts and circumstances
indicate a finding of an employee's involvement in contributing to
such harassment, the employee shall be subject to immediate disciplinary
action, up to and including dismissal.
