    SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE

    Every complaint will be thoroughly investigated. When a complaint of sexual harassment is received we will take the following actions:

    1. Question both parties in detail.

    2. Probe deeply for corroborative evidence.

    Here is what we are trying to determine with our investigation: Is the testimony of the victim internally consistent? Is the testimony of the accused internally consistent? Does each follow logically? Are both accounts externally consistent? Does the victim's account jibe with the testimony of witnesses? Does the accused's account jibe with the testimony of witnesses? Did the accused have time to do what the victim alleged? Does the victim have any possible motive for falsely implicating the accused? Could the harassment have happened at the time and location specified? Despite the fact that there were no witnesses wholesale air jordan shoes , could the harassment have taken place at the time and the location?

    We will not assume the accused is guilty, but neither will we attach much significance to a general denial by the accused harasser. We will search completely and thoroughly for evidence that corroborates either side's story. We will do this by:

    1. Interviewing co-workers, supervisors, and managers

    2. Obtaining testimony from individuals who observed the accuser's demeanor immediately after the alleged incident of harassment

    3. Checking out people with whom the alleged victim discussed the incident (e.g. wholesale air jordans retro , co-workers, a doctor, or a counselor).

    We will ask other employees if they noticed changes in the accusing individual's behavior at work or in the alleged harasser's treatment of him or her. We will look for evidence of other complaints, either by the victim or other employees. We will follow up on evidence that other employees were sexually harassed by the same person. In order to make a fair and legal decision on a sexual harassment complaint we need to find out as much information as we can wholesale air jordans online , not only on the incident itself, but also on the victim's and accuser's personalities, surroundings, and relationships. To accomplish this task wholesale air jordans wholesale , we need to not only ask many questions of the victim and accuser, but also of any witnesses to the incident and the surrounding environment.

    Here are some questions we may ask the victim:
    Specific to the incident, what happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? What preceded the incident? What did the harasser do or say? What did you do or say? What happened in addition to or since the incident? Who may have seen or heard the incident? With whom have you discussed the incident?

    Here are some questions we may ask the accused:
    Specific to the incident, are you attracted to (name the employee)? Do you ever think of (name the employee) in a sexual way? Have you ever touched (name the employee)? Have you tried to kiss (name the employee)? (Describe the alleged incident.) Please give me your version of the incident. Did you offer (name the employee) help with hisher career in exchange for hisher affection?

    Here are some questions we may ask any witnesses:
    Have co-workers complained about inappropriate behavior in the department? Have you personally noticed or been offended by inappropriate behavior? Please describe any inappropriate or offensive behavior that you have experienced or witnessed. Are there any calendar pictures or posters displayed which offend you or someone else? Have offensive jokes or comments been made about people in the department? (If the answer to the above question is yes then ask:) Who made these remarks and what was said? Specific to the incident (describe the time and place of the incident wholesale air jordans from china , then ask:), Did you notice anything in your department that may have disturbed you or another employee? Did you hear a conversation involving (name the employee)? Did you see anyone talking to this employee? Did you observe any interaction between this employee and a co-worker or supervisor?

    For many people, sexual harassment is an uncomfortable wholesale air jordans for kids , disturbing and even frightening experience.
