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, based on a reasonable belief, provide information about, complain, or assist in the investigation of any complaint of harassment or discrimination. We will promptly and thoroughly investigate any claim and take appropriate action where we find a claim has merit. To the extent possible, we 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. In all cases, the Company will follow up as necessary to ensure that no individual is retaliated against for making a complaint or cooperating with an investigation.

Resolution Outside Company

The purpose of this policy is to establish prompt, thorough, and effective procedures for responding to every complaint and incident so that problems can be identified and remedied internally. However, you have the right to file a complaint (charge) with the Illinois Department of Human Rights (IDHR) or the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). If you choose to file a complaint with one of these agencies, the complaint must be filed within the following timeframes:

 If filed with the EEOC, within 300 calendar days of the alleged discriminatory act.  If filed with the IDHR, within two years of the alleged discriminatory act.
