The Town of Greenwich believes in the dignity of the individual
and recognizes the rights of all people to equal employment opportunities
in the workplace. In this regard, the Town of Greenwich (hereinafter
"municipality"), is committed to a policy of protecting and safeguarding
the rights and opportunities of all people to seek, obtain and hold
employment without subjugation to harassment or discrimination in
the workplace. It is the municipality's policy to provide an employment
environment free from harassment and discrimination based on race,
color, gender, religion, religious creed, sex, familial or marital
status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability,
genetic information/predisposition or carrier status, military or
veteran status, sexual orientation, self-identified or perceived sex,
gender expression, gender identity and the status of being transgender,
pregnancy (including childbirth and related medical conditions, and
including medical conditions related to lactation) citizenship, domestic
violence victim's status or any other characteristics protected by
applicable federal, state or local law.
A. Scope of policy. This policy applies to all municipality employees
and all personnel in a contractual or other business relationship
with the municipality, including, for example, applicants, temporary
or leased employees, interns (whether paid or unpaid), volunteers,
visitors, independent contractors, contractors, subcontractors, vendors,
consultants or other persons providing services pursuant to a contract
in the workplace, including employees of independent contractors,
contractors, subcontractors, vendors, consultants or others providing
services pursuant to a contract in the workplace. In the remainder
of this policy, the term "employees" refers to this collective group.
This policy applies with equal force on municipality property as it
does at municipality-sponsored events, programs, and activities that
take place off municipality premises.
B. Policy objectives. By adopting and publishing this policy, it is
the intention of the municipality's governing body to:
(1) Notify employees about the types of conduct that constitute harassment
and discrimination prohibited by this policy;
(2) Inform employees about the complaint procedures established by the
municipality that enable any employee who believes (s)he is the victim
of harassment or discrimination to submit a complaint which will be
investigated by the municipality;
(3) Clearly advise all supervisory staff, managers, and employees that
harassment and discrimination is strictly prohibited, and no such
person possesses the authority to harass or discriminate; and
(4) Notify all employees that the municipality has appointed Compliance
Officers who are specifically designated to receive complaints and
ensure compliance with this policy.
NOTE: The names and office location of each Compliance Officer designated to receive and investigate complaints are listed below in §
72-11 of this policy. Any change in the designated Compliance Officers shall be distributed in writing to all current employees and shall be posted.
Any questions by employees of the municipality about this policy or potential harassment or discrimination should be brought to the attention of one of the municipality's Compliance Officers. The names, addresses, and telephone numbers of the municipality's Compliance Officers are listed in §
72-11 of this policy.
