Any employee who refuses to cooperate with or otherwise interferes with an investigation conducted by or on behalf of the School will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Any employee who knowingly provides false information or intentionally withholds information without an appropriate basis for doing, during an investigation conducted by or on behalf of the School, will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Whistleblower Policy It is the School’s intent to protect its integrity, ensure the highest standards of conduct among its employees, and adhere to all applicable laws and regulations. CSB therefore encourages employees to report any reasonable belief that a legal violation has potentially occurred due to any policy, practice or activity by the School or its employees, customers, or vendors. A report of any such potentially improper activity may be submitted on a confidential basis by the employee. Alternatively, the employee may provide an anonymous report, but anonymous reports must include sufficient specific facts to enable the School to investigate the matter. CSB will not retaliate against an employee who, in good faith, reports any potentially improper activity. Nor will the School tolerate any other employee retaliating against or attempting to influence the employee. Any employee who does so will be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. The School will conduct a prompt and appropriate investigation into all reports of potentially improper activity. All employees are required to cooperate with The School’s internal investigations by providing any requested information and truthfully and fully answering questions. Failure to cooperate with or impeding an investigation, or knowingly providing false information, will result in disciplinary action. Reports of potentially improper activity and related investigations will be kept confidential to the extent possible, consistent with the need to conduct an appropriate investigation. Anyone found to have engaged in improper activity will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. Civil liability or criminal prosecution of the wrongdoer may also result.
