Drug & Alcohol Policy

The welfare and success of this company depends on the physical and psychological health of all its associates. The abuse of drugs and alcohol poses a serious threat to both the company and its associates. Any associate who engages in the sale of or is found under the influence of habit forming or illicit drugs or alcohol, which impairs judgment, performance or behavior while at work, will be subject to discipline or termination.

Some client companies of Grafton require that temporary associates take a drug test before they are placed on assignment. If this situation should arise, your Grafton Representative will explain this prior to your acceptance of the assignment. If you choose not to take the assignment because of the drug test, it will not affect your opportunity to be called for future assignments.

Harassment Policy

Grafton expressly prohibits any form of unlawful associate harassment based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or status as a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran. Improper interference with the ability of Grafton associates to perform their expected job duties is not tolerated, and your assignment will end immediately. With respect to sexual harassment, Grafton prohibits unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and all other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual or otherwise offensive nature. Sexual harassment will be regarded as a violation of this policy when:

Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of employment.
Submission to or rejection of such conduct is used as a basis for decisions affecting an individual's employment; or
Such conduct has the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

The management of Grafton considers the following conduct to be some examples of the type of acts that violate Grafton's sexual harassment policy:

Physical assaults such as rape, sexual battery, molestation,intentional physical touching which is sexual in nature.
Unwanted sexual advances, propositions or other sexual comments such as unwelcome sexually oriented gestures, noises and remarks, preferential treatment for submitting to sexual conduct or conduct making the performance of an associate more difficult because of their sex.
Sexual displays or publications displayed in the workplace that are sexually demeaning or pornographic, and reading sexually suggestive or pornographic literature.Such material includes calendars, cartoons, jokes, cards or other material of this nature.

Harassment Complaint Procedure

Each member of management is responsible for creating an atmosphere free of discrimination and harassment, sexual or otherwise. No member of management will condone or ignore any act of sexual or workplace harassment and must take prompt and decisive action to stop any harassment they are aware of. All members of management must promptly report all incidents of sexual or workplace harassment to either the Grafton Manager or an officer of the Company. Further, associates are also responsible for respecting the rights of their co-workers.

If you experience any job-related harassment based on your sex, age, race, national origin, disability, or other factor, or believe you have been treated in an unlawful, discriminatory manner, you must promptly report the incident to either the Grafton Manager or an officer of the Company, or if neither is present, the Grafton Coordinator. The Grafton Manager or an officer of the Company will undertake an investigation. Your complaint will be kept confidential to the maximum extent possible.

If the Company determines after a thorough and complete investigation that an associate is guilty of harassing another associate, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the offending associate. Disciplinary action may include, but not be limited to; verbal warning, written reprimand, suspension, or discharge. Records of all disciplinary measures will be permanently in the associate's personnel file.

Associates, agents, consultants, guests, customers, vendors and other non-associates are forbidden to engage in any form of sexual harassment. Associates may refuse, without fear of reprisal, to work with a non-associate who fails to refrain from sexual harassment. Any non-associate who, in the sole opinion of the Company, violates the Policy may be barred from the Company's premises.

Grafton prohibits any forms of retaliation against any associate for filing a bona fide complaint under this policy or for assisting in a complaint investigation. However, if after investigating any complaint of harassment or unlawful discrimination the Company determines that the complaint is not bona fide or that an associate has provided false information regarding the complaint, disciplinary action may be taken against the individual who filed the complaint or who gave false information.

Grafton recognizes the sensitivity and confidentiality of the information received during an investigation of workplace harassment. Grafton will try to keep all information and documentation confidential, where at all possible.
