Diversity & Equal Employment Opportunity

It is Katch Kans’ policy to be an equal-opportunity employer. All terms and conditions of employment including, but not limited to hiring, training, promotions, compensation benefits, transfers, and other personnel actions will be made without regard to actual or perceived religion, color, race, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, veteran status, sexual orientation and any other classifications protected by federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance. Katch Kan will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who raise issues of equal employment opportunity. To ensure Katch Kans’ workplace is free of artificial barriers, violation of this policy will lead to disciplinary action, which may include discharge.

Harassment

It is Katch Kans’ policy to prohibit intentional and unintentional harassment of any individual by another person on the basis of any protected classification including, but not limited to, religion, color, race, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, veteran status or sexual orientation, and any other classifications protected by federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or ordinance. Every report of perceived harassment will be fully investigated, and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, which may include discharge. Employees who make complaints in bad faith or fail to cooperate in an investigation may be subject to disciplinary action, which may include discharge.

Sexual Harassment

It is Katch Kans’ policy to prohibit harassment of one employee by another employee, manager, or even customer, on the basis of sex (or because of any other personal characteristic, such as religion, color, race, sex, national origin, age, disability, marital status, citizenship, veteran status or sexual orientation and any other classifications protected by federal, state or local law, rule regulation or ordinance). Every report of actual or perceived harassment will be investigated and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. Violations of this policy will not be permitted and will result in disciplinary action, which may include discharge.

Workplace Violence

Katch Kan is strongly committed to providing a safe workplace. The purpose of this policy is to minimize the risk of personal injury to employees and damage to Katch Kan and personal property. Katch Kan does not expect staff to become experts in psychology or to physically subdue a threatening, violent, or potentially violent individual. Katch Kan does, however, expect and encourage staff to exercise reasonable judgment in identifying potentially dangerous situations.

Prohibited Conduct

Threats, threatening language, or any other acts of aggression or violence made toward or by any employee WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. For purposes of this policy, a threat includes any verbal or physical harassment or abuse, any attempt at intimidating or instilling fear in others, menacing gestures, flashing of weapons, stalking, or any other hostile, aggressive, injurious, and/or destructive action undertaken for the purpose of domination or intimidation. Weapons are prohibited on Katch Kan premises.
