▪ Physical conduct including assault, unwanted touching, intentionally blocking
normal movement or interfering with work because of sex, race, or any other
protected basis;

▪ Threats and demands to submit to sexual requests as a condition of
continued employment, or to avoid some other loss, and offers of
employment benefits in return for sexual favors; and
▪ Retaliation for reporting or threatening to report harassment.

If you believe that you have been unlawfully harassed, submit a written complaint to
your own or any other company supervisor, the President, the Human Resources
Manager, or the Ethic Hotline (RedFlagReporting.com) as soon as possible after the
incident. Your complaint should include details of the incident or incidents, names of
the individuals involved, and names of any witnesses. Supervisors will refer all
harassment complaints to the Human Resources Manager, or the President of Jones-
Hamilton Co., so that a prompt, effective, thorough, and objective investigation of the
harassment allegations can be undertaken.
If Jones-Hamilton Co. determines that unlawful harassment has occurred, effective
remedial action will be taken in accordance with the circumstances involved. Any
employee determined by Jones-Hamilton Co. to be responsible for unlawful
harassment will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to, and including
termination.

A company representative will advise all parties concerned of the results of the
investigation. Jones-Hamilton Co. will not retaliate against you for filing a complaint
and will not tolerate or permit retaliation by management, employees or co-workers.

WORKPLACE BULLYING

Jones-Hamilton Co. defines bullying as “repeated inappropriate behavior, either direct
or indirect, whether verbal, physical or otherwise, conducted by one or more persons
against another or others, at the place of work and/or in the course of employment.”
Such behavior violates the Jones-Hamilton Co. corporate values and ethics, which
clearly state that all employees will be treated with dignity and respect.

The purpose of this policy is to communicate to all employees, including supervisors,
and managers, that Jones-Hamilton Co. will not tolerate bullying behavior. Employees
should report any bullying behavior by an employee to a supervisor, the Human
Resources Manager, or the President. Employees found in violation of this policy will
be disciplined up to and including termination.

Bullying may be intentional or unintentional. However, it must be noted that where an
allegation of bullying is made, the intention of the alleged bully is irrelevant and will
not be given consideration when deciding on disciplinary actions. Strict management
style is not ordinarily considered bullying, however if you have a concern report it to
Human Resources. As in sexual harassment, it is the effect of the behavior upon the
individual that is important. Jones-Hamilton Co. considers the following types of
behavior examples of bullying:
