  being	
  harassed	
  OR	
  who	
  believes	
  
that	
   s/he	
   has	
   witnessed	
   harassment,	
   should	
   immediately	
   report	
   the	
   situation	
   to	
  
their	
  manager	
  or	
  Human	
  Resources.	
  The	
  report	
  may	
  initially	
  be	
  provided	
  verbally,	
  	
  
however,	
  after	
  further	
  discussions,	
  there	
  may	
  be	
  a	
  requirement	
  for	
  a

  formal	
  
follow

Resolution	
  	
  
Depending	
   on	
   the	
   nature	
   of	
   the	
   claim	
   and	
   the	
   degree	
   of	
   severity,	
   a	
   number	
   of	
  
options	
   are	
   available	
   to	
   bring	
   resolution	
   to	
   the	
   issue	
   of	
   disrespectful	
   behavior	
   or	
  
harassment.	
  
1. Direct	
  Approach	
  	
  
Many	
  times,	
  the	
  best	
  outcome	
  results	
  when	
  the	
  employee	
  who	
  believes	
  they	
  
have	
   been	
   the	
   subject	
   of	
   disrespectful	
   behavior	
   or	
   harassment	
   is	
   active	
   in	
  
resolving	
  the	
  issue	
  themselves	
  if	
  they	
  are	
  comfortable	
  in	
  doing	
  so.	
  In	
  many	
  
cases,	
   the	
   individual	
   is	
   unaware	
   that	
   their	
   behavior	
   is	
   disrespectful	
   or	
  
harassing	
   and	
   will	
   change	
   the	
   behavior	
   once	
   they	
   are	
   made	
   aware	
   of	
   its	
  
impact.	
   This	
   approach	
   is	
   intended	
   to	
   empower	
   employees	
   to	
   resolve	
   the	
  
matter	
  themselves	
  without	
  further	
  escalation.	
  Advice	
  or	
  coaching	
  on	
  how	
  to	
  
handle	
  an	
  informal,	
  direct	
  resolution	
  on	
  your	
  own	
  can	
  be	
  sought	
  by	
  Human	
  
Resources.	
  	
  
2. Intervention	
  	
  
If	
  a	
  Claimant	
  is	
  unable	
  or	
  unwilling	
  to	
  approach	
  the	
  Respondent	
  directly,	
  they	
  
may	
  ask	
  their	
  manager	
  or	
  Human	
  Resources	
  for	
  assistance	
  in	
  addressing	
  the	
  
behavior	
  by	
  speaking	
  with	
  the	
  Respondent	
  on	
  their	
  behalf	
  or	
  being	
  present	
  
to	
  offer	
  support	
  when	
  they	
  meet	
  with	
  them.	
  
Any	
  intervention	
  may	
  also	
  lead	
  to:	
  
o Mediation;	
  	
  
o Education	
  or	
  Training;	
  	
  
o Personal	
  coaching	
  through	
  internal	
  or	
  external	
  resources;	
  
o A	
  verbal	
  or	
  written	
  warning.	
  	
  
In	
  cases	
  where	
  it	
  is	
  appropriate	
  for	
  a	
  3rd	
  party	
  investigation,	
  the	
  recommendations	
  
as	
  a	
  result	
  of	
  the	
  investigation	
  could	
  include:	
  	
  
o Transfer;	
  
o Demotion;	
  	
  
o Suspension	
  without	
  pay;	
  or	
  
o Termination	
  of	
  employment.

  yearly	
  cycle.	
  
The	
   initial	
   cycle	
   begins	
   with	
   hiring	
   or

   a	
   position	
   that	
   they	
  
possess	
   the	
   knowledge,	
   skills,	
   and	
   ability	
   to	
   perform.	
   This	
   step	
   is	
   followed	
   by	
   a	
  
comprehensive	
   new	
   hire	
   orientation	
   covering	
   departmental	
   goals	
   and	
   objectives	
  
and	
   an	
   overview	
   of	
   how	
   the	
   employee	
   will	
   be	
   evaluated.	
   The	
   employee	
   is	
   to	
   be	
  
trained	
   and	
   given	
   feedback	
   regarding	
   how	
   well	
   they	
   are	
   meeting	
   performance	
  
expectations.	
   This	
   is	
   accomplished	
   through	
   coaching,	
   reviews	
   and	
   employee	
  
guidance	
  if	
  needed.

At	
   One	
   Event	
   &	
   Co.	
   we	
   aim	
   to	
   ensure	
   that	
   all	
   employees	
   fulfill	
   their	
   job	
  
responsibilities,	
  and	
  if	
  any	
  inappropriate	
  behaviour	
  or	
  performance	
  will	
  be	
  cause	
  for	
  
corrective	
   action.	
   We	
   guarantee	
   that	
   all	
   disciplinary	
   actions	
   are	
   fair	
   for	
   all	
  
employees	
  and	
  said	
  disciplinary	
  action	
  is	
  constructive	
  rather	
  than	
  punitive.	
  	
  	
  
The	
   objective	
   of	
   this	
   policy	
   is	
   to	
   follow	
   the	
   appropriate	
   disciplinary	
   process	
   and	
  
correct	
   intolerable	
   behaviour	
   or	
   performance	
   from	
   an	
   employee.	
   In	
   this	
   case,	
  
disciplinary	
  action	
  will	
  be	
  corrective	
  rather	
  than	
  vindictive.	
  Disciplinary	
  action	
  must	
  
be	
  fair,	
  stable	
  and	
  consistent	
  with	
  all	
  employees.	
  
In	
  order	
  to	
  follow	
  this	
  discipline	
  policy,	
  supervisors	
  must	
  inform	
  their	
  employees	
  of	
  
their	
  specific	
  job	
  description,	
  tasks,	
  requirements	
  and	
  responsibilities.	
  The	
  Human	
  
Resources	
  department	
  is	
  available	
  to	
  assist	
  supervisors	
  in	
  this	
  process,	
  as	
  well	
  as	
  
supporting	
  with	
  all	
  disciplinary	
  action.	
  
	
  
1.1	
  Investigation	
  	
  
Prior	
   to	
   any	
   disciplinary	
   action	
   being	
   executed,	
   the	
   supervisor	
   is	
   responsible	
   for	
  
completing	
   a	
   full	
   investigation	
   of	
   the	
   matter.	
   This	
   investigation	
   includes	
   an	
  
interview	
  with	
  the	
  employee	
  involved,	
  or	
  with	
  a	
  number	
  of	
  other	
  people	
  involved	
  in	
  
the	
  matter.	
  Notes	
  should	
  be	
  recorded	
  during	
  this	
  interview	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  document	
  
what	
  each	
  member	
  of	
  the	
  interview	
  said.	
  These	
  notes	
  should	
  be	
  transcribed,	
  signed	
  
and	
  dated	
  by	
  the	
  supervisor	
  in	
  charge	
  of	
  this	
  interview.	
  Suspension	
  may	
  occur	
  until	
  
the	
  investigation	
  into	
  the	
  matter	
  is	
  complete.	
  
	
  
1.2	
  Factors	
  to	
  Consider	
  
a.	
   The	
   employee	
   must	
   be	
   trained	
   to	
   do	
   their	
   specific	
   job	
   position,	
   in	
   cases	
   of	
  
discipline	
   based	
   on	
   job	
   performance,	
   if	
   the	
   employee	
   was	
   not	
   properly	
   trained	
  
disciplinary	
  action	
  is	
  not	
  valid;	
  
b.	
  If	
  the	
  employee	
  participated	
  in	
  inappropriate	
  behaviour,	
  was	
  the	
  employee	
  aware	
  
that	
  this	
  behaviour	
  would	
  not	
  be	
  condoned;	
  
c.	
  It	
  is	
  important	
  to	
  know	
  if	
  the	
  employee	
  has	
  been	
  disciplined	
  in	
  the	
  past,	
  and	
  what	
  
the	
  situation	
  was;	
  
d.	
  The	
  significance	
  of	
  the	
  misbehaviour	
  (performance	
  or	
  behaviour);	
  	
  
e.	
  All	
  other	
  circumstances,	
  such	
  as;	
  did	
  the	
  employee	
  admit	
  to	
  his/her	
  misconduct,	
  
did	
  they	
  apologize,	
  etc.	
  	
  
	
  
1.3	
  Timelines	
  	
  
At	
  One	
  Event	
  &	
  Co.	
  we	
  ensure	
  that	
  all	
  disciplinary	
  action	
  will	
  be	
  in	
  effect	
  in	
  a	
  timely	
  
manner.	
   Otherwise,	
   if	
   this	
   action	
   is	
   postponed	
   or	
   delayed,	
   this	
   may	
   be	
  
misinterpreted	
  as	
  consenting	
  to	
  this	
  behaviour.

1.4	
  Consistency	
  	
  
Based	
  on	
  the	
  severity	
  of	
  the	
  infraction,	
  disciplinary	
  action	
  may	
  vary	
  from	
  employee	
  
to	
   employee.	
   The	
   One	
   Event	
   &	
   Co.	
   supervisors	
   and	
   managers	
   will	
   follow	
   all	
  
guidelines	
   as	
   listed	
   above	
   in	
   order	
   to	
   decide	
   what	
   action	
   is	
   appropriate.	
   It	
   is	
  
important	
   that	
   recognition	
   of	
   infractions	
   as	
   inappropriate	
   be	
   consistent	
   with	
   all	
  
employees	
  and	
  volunteers.	
  	
  
	
  
1.5	
  Steps	
  of	
  Progressive	
  Discipline	
  	
  
a.	
  Oral	
  Reprehension	
  
An	
  oral	
  interview	
  with	
  the	
  employee	
  and	
  supervisor	
  is	
  acceptable	
  if	
  the	
  employee’s	
  
misconduct	
   is	
   not	
   very	
   serious.	
   This	
   interview	
   should	
   only	
   occur	
   when	
   the	
  
infraction	
  is	
  the	
  first	
  of	
  this	
  employee’s.	
  This	
  should	
  be	
  conducted	
  in	
  private,	
  and	
  
should	
  be	
  written	
  and	
  notes	
  recorded	
  by	
  the	
  supervisor.	
  An	
  disciplinary	
  action	
  plan	
  
should	
  be	
  agreed	
  upon	
  by	
  the	
  supervisor	
  and	
  employee,	
  and	
  this	
  is	
  encouraged	
  to	
  be	
  
written.	
   There	
   should	
   be	
   a	
   follow	
   up	
   meeting	
   with	
   this	
   employee,	
   in	
   order	
   to	
  
encourage	
  constructive	
  disciplinary	
  action.	
  	
  
b.	
  Written	
  Reprehension	
  	
  
Written	
  notice	
  of	
  infraction	
  is	
  typically	
  the	
  next	
  step	
  of	
  disciplinary	
  action.	
  This	
  is	
  
normally	
  a	
  written	
  letter	
  of	
  warning	
  to	
  the	
  employee	
  of	
  their	
  misconduct,	
  and	
  what	
  
action	
  will	
  be	
  taken	
  going	
  forward.	
  There	
  should	
  be	
  two	
  copies	
  of	
  this	
  letter,	
  one	
  
should	
   be	
   signed	
   by	
   the	
   employee	
   and	
   returned	
   to	
   the	
   supervisor.	
   The	
   Human	
  
Resources	
   department	
   in	
   this	
   case,	
   must	
   approve	
   any	
   disciplinary	
   action.	
   There	
  
should	
  be	
  an	
  agreement	
  between	
  the	
  employee	
  and	
  supervisor	
  on	
  this	
  action	
  plan.	
  
Like	
   the	
   oral	
   reprehension,	
   there	
   should	
   be	
   a	
   follow	
   up	
   interview	
   with	
   the	
  
employee,	
   supervisor	
   and	
   in	
   some	
   cases,	
   a	
   member	
   of	
   the	
   Human	
   Resources	
  
department.	
  	
  
c.	
  Suspension	
  	
  
While	
   an	
   investigation	
   is	
   being	
   held,	
   employees	
   may	
   be	
   suspended	
   for	
   a	
   given	
  
amount	
  of	
  time,	
  typically	
  without	
  pay.	
  The	
  supervisor	
  based	
  on	
  the	
  guidelines	
  above	
  
will	
   determine	
   the	
   length	
   of	
   the	
   suspension.	
   There	
   should	
   be	
   a	
   written	
   letter	
  
including	
  the	
  reason	
  for	
  suspension,	
  length	
  of	
  suspension,	
  and	
  disciplinary	
  action	
  to	
  
follow.	
   There	
   should	
   be	
   two	
   copies	
   of	
   this	
   letter,	
   one	
   should	
   be	
   signed	
   by	
   the	
  
employee	
  and	
  returned	
  to	
  the	
  supervisor.	
  A	
  copy	
  of	
  this	
  letter	
  should	
  be	
  sent	
  to	
  the	
  
Human	
  Resources	
  department	
  to	
  initiate	
  a	
  request	
  to	
  stop	
  the	
  pay	
  of	
  this	
  employee	
  
for	
  the	
  length	
  of	
  suspension.	
  The	
  supervisor	
  and	
  employee	
  should	
  agree	
  upon	
  the	
  
disciplinary	
  action	
  and	
  suspension	
  in	
  order	
  to	
  ensure	
  this	
  behaviour	
  is	
  corrected.	
  
Like	
  the	
  oral	
  and	
  written	
  reprehension,	
  there	
  should	
  be	
  a	
  follow	
  up	
  interview	
  with	
  
the	
   employee,	
   supervisor	
   and	
   in	
   some	
   cases,	
   a	
   member	
   of	
   the	
   Human	
   Resources	
  
department.

This   manual   is   the   official   statement   of   One   Event   &   Co.   human   resources   policies.     It   is   the   responsibility   of   each   Director   and   Volunteer   Lead   to   administer  these  policies  consistently  and  impartially.     2. One  Event  &  Co,  policies  are  not  intended  to  contravene  any  applicable  Labour   Codes  or  Human  Rights  Legislations.    If  any  contradiction  exists  the  applicable   Labour  Code  and/or  Human  Rights  Law  will  supersede  One  Event  &  Co.  Policy.     3. The   policies   in   the   manual   are   applicable   to   all   persons   employed   by,   and   volunteering  for  One  Event  &  Co.    The  policies  are  a  shared  responsibility  carried   by  the  Directors,  all  staff,  and  volunteers.     4. The  Director  of  Human  Resources  for  One  Event  &  Co.  is  responsible  for  human   resources  policy  revisions  and  revisions  to  this  manual  in  cooperation  with  the   Human  Resources  Department.     5. This  manual  is  online  at  One  Event  &  Co.  website.    One  Event  &  Co.  ensures  that   all   employees   and   volunteers   have   access   to   current   and   revised   policies.         Revisions   will   be   announced   in   communications.     All   employees   and   staff   are   required  to  review  the  Human  Resources  Manual  and  sign  an  acknowledgment   that  they  are  aware  of  and  understand  all  policies  and  procedures.     6. Any  employee  or  volunteer  of  One  Event  &  Co.  observing  a  violation  of  a  policy   will  inform  the  employee  or  volunteer  involved  in  violating  the  policy  and  their   immediate   supervisor.     If   the   employee   or   volunteer   is   not   comfortable   with   bringing  this  forward,  they  may  bring  the  matter  to  Human  Resources.     7. Violation  of  One  Event  &  Co.  policies  may  lead  to  termination  of  the  employee  or   volunteer  involved  at  the  discretion  of  the  Directors.    Any  suspected  violation  of   policy  will  be  thoroughly  investigated  before  any  action  is  taken.

Direct  Approach     Many  times,  the  best  outcome  results  when  the  employee  who  believes  they   have   been   the   subject   of   disrespectful   behavior   or   harassment   is   active   in   resolving  the  issue  themselves  if  they  are  comfortable  in  doing  so.  In  many   cases,   the   individual   is   unaware   that   their   behavior   is   disrespectful   or   harassing   and   will   change   the   behavior   once   they   are   made   aware   of   its   impact.   This   approach   is   intended   to   empower   employees   to   resolve   the   matter  themselves  without  further  escalation.  Advice  or  coaching  on  how  to   handle  an  informal,  direct  resolution  on  your  own  can  be  sought  by  Human   Resources.     2. Intervention     If  a  Claimant  is  unable  or  unwilling  to  approach  the  Respondent  directly,  they   may  ask  their  manager  or  Human  Resources  for  assistance  in  addressing  the   behavior  by  speaking  with  the  Respondent  on  their  behalf  or  being  present   to  offer  support  when  they  meet  with  them.   Any  intervention  may  also  lead  to:   o Mediation;     o Education  or  Training;     o Personal  coaching  through  internal  or  external  resources;   o A  verbal  or  written  warning.     In  cases  where  it  is  appropriate  for  a  3rd  party  investigation,  the  recommendations   as  a  result  of  the  investigation  could  include:     o Transfer;   o Demotion;     o Suspension  without  pay;  or   o Termination  of  employment.

  • 37.               37   One  Event  &  Co.   Human  Resources  Manual     1.4  Consistency     Based  on  the  severity  of  the  infraction,  disciplinary  action  may  vary  from  employee   to   employee.   The   One   Event   &   Co.   supervisors   and   managers   will   follow   all   guidelines   as   listed   above   in   order   to   decide   what   action   is   appropriate.   It   is   important   that   recognition   of   infractions   as   inappropriate   be   consistent   with   all   employees  and  volunteers.       1.5  Steps  of  Progressive  Discipline     a.  Oral  Reprehension   An  oral  interview  with  the  employee  and  supervisor  is  acceptable  if  the  employee’s   misconduct   is   not   very   serious.   This   interview   should   only   occur   when   the   infraction  is  the  first  of  this  employee’s.  This  should  be  conducted  in  private,  and   should  be  written  and  notes  recorded  by  the  supervisor.  An  disciplinary  action  plan   should  be  agreed  upon  by  the  supervisor  and  employee,  and  this  is  encouraged  to  be   written.   There   should   be   a   follow   up   meeting   with   this   employee,   in   order   to   encourage  constructive  disciplinary  action.     b.  Written  Reprehension     Written  notice  of  infraction  is  typically  the  next  step  of  disciplinary  action.  This  is   normally  a  written  letter  of  warning  to  the  employee  of  their  misconduct,  and  what   action  will  be  taken  going  forward.  There  should  be  two  copies  of  this  letter,  one   should   be   signed   by   the   employee   and   returned   to   the   supervisor.   The   Human   Resources   department   in   this   case,   must   approve   any   disciplinary   action.   There   should  be  an  agreement  between  the  employee  and  supervisor  on  this  action  plan.   Like   the   oral   reprehension,   there   should   be   a   follow   up   interview   with   the   employee,   supervisor   and   in   some   cases,   a   member   of   the   Human   Resources   department.     c.  Suspension     While   an   investigation   is   being   held,   employees   may   be   suspended   for   a   given   amount  of  time,  typically  without  pay.  The  supervisor  based  on  the  guidelines  above   will   determine   the   length   of   the   suspension.   There   should   be   a   written   letter   including  the  reason  for  suspension,  length  of  suspension,  and  disciplinary  action  to   follow.   There   should   be   two   copies   of   this   letter,   one   should   be   signed   by   the   employee  and  returned  to  the  supervisor.  A  copy  of  this  letter  should  be  sent  to  the   Human  Resources  department  to  initiate  a  request  to  stop  the  pay  of  this  employee   for  the  length  of  suspension.  The  supervisor  and  employee  should  agree  upon  the   disciplinary  action  and  suspension  in  order  to  ensure  this  behaviour  is  corrected.   Like  the  oral  and  written  reprehension,  there  should  be  a  follow  up  interview  with   the   employee,   supervisor   and   in   some   cases,   a   member   of   the   Human   Resources   department.
