Re: Company Policy on Discrimination and Harassment
v

Dear (Name of New Employee):
s
i
As you probably know, in this country our rights to do something are limited when, by
o
doing it, we infringe on the rights of others. We believe it’s essential to follow those
n
principles and that’s why (Name of Company) does not tolerate discrimination or
harassment of any kind because these actions clearly infringe on the rights of others.
C
o
(Name of Company) is committed to providing a workplace free from discrimination or
r
harassment based on a person's sex, age, ethnicity, race, religion, or any other legally
p
protected characteristic. Any obvious or implied discrimination is not allowed. Violators
o
of this policy will be disciplined, and possibly terminated.
r
a
If you witness or are the victim of a single act of discrimination or harassment, please
t
report the incident to your supervisor. Or, if this is inappropriate, please contact (Name
i
of HR Representative). Any report you make will be confidential and without reprisal.
o
n
Your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated.
