Reporting Discrimination and Harassment

If you feel that you have witnessed or have been subjected to any form of discrimination or harassment, immediately notify Katy McShane, Chief Human Resource Officer, at (317) 808-7285 or via email or any member of management. The Company prohibits retaliation against employees who provide information about, complain about, or assist in the investigation of any complaint of harassment or discrimination. The Company will promptly and thoroughly investigate any claim and take appropriate action where we find a claim has merit. To the extent possible, the Company will retain the confidentiality of those who report suspected or alleged violations of the harassment policy. Discipline for violation of this policy may include, but is not limited to, reprimand, suspension, demotion, transfer, and discharge. If the Company determines that harassment or discrimination occurred, corrective action will be taken to effectively end the harassment. As necessary, the Company may monitor any incident of harassment or discrimination to assure the inappropriate behavior has stopped.

Alternative Reporting and Remedies

The Company encourages employees to report incidents of discrimination and harassment internally. However, employees who believe they have been subjected to discrimination or harassment in the workplace may file a private civil action or seek relief by either:  Filing a complaint alleging violation of the New York State Human Rights law with the Division of Human Rights, or in the New York State Supreme Court; or  Filing a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for violation of federal antidiscrimination laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII).
