Violence in the Workplace The safety and security of all employees and our patients is of primary importance to COPC. Threats, threatening and abusive behavior, or acts of violence against employees, patients, visitors, vendors, or other individuals by anyone at any time or place will not be tolerated. Violations of this policy will lead to corrective action, up to and including termination of employment and/or the referral to appropriate law enforcement agencies. The Company reserves the right to take any necessary legal action to protect its employees and patients. COPC strictly prohibits workplace violence, including any act of intimidation, threat, harassment, physical violence, verbal abuse, aggression, or coercion against a coworker, vendor, patient, or visitor. Prohibited actions include, but are not limited to, the following examples: ● Physically injuring another person ● Threatening to injure another person ● Engaging in behaviors which may subject another person to emotional distress ● Using obscene, abusive, or threatening language or gestures ● Bringing an unauthorized firearm or other weapon onto Company premises ● Threatening to use or using a weapon while on Company premises, on Company-related business, or during job-related functions ● Intentionally damaging Company property Employee Referral Program COPC strives to hire qualified individuals to fill positions at the company. Employees who know the qualities our Company looks for and the skills and training that make COPC a success are our best assets when sourcing talent. In appreciation for helping recruit candidates, eligible employees who refer an individual for a designated priority opening (referred to as a “featured opportunity”) that meets the qualifications will receive a referral incentive.
All COPC employees are eligible for the referral bonus except for Physicians, Human Resources, and anyone supervising the employee in the course of their normal job duties. Employees can find more information in the Employee Referral Incentive policy found here.

Following the investigation, the Company will initiate an immediate and appropriate response including, but not limited to, suspension or termination of any business relationship, reassignment of job duties, suspension, or termination of employment, and/or criminal prosecution of the person or persons involved. Threatening, Dangerous, or Violent Behavior All employees are required to notify any member of management of any threatening, dangerous, or violent behavior that they witness, receive, or that is reported to them. Even without a specific threat, all employees are required to report any behavior(s) they are aware of which they regard as potentially threatening or violent or which could endanger the health or safety of an individual.
