Wage Disclosure Protection
The organization, consistent with Minnesota law, does not prohibit a Team Member from disclosing the Team Member's own wages or discussing another Team Member's wages which have been disclosed voluntarily. Further, the organization does not require nondisclosure of a Team Member's wages as a condition of employment and will not require a Team Member to sign any document contrary to this policy. Team Members are, however, under no obligation to disclose their wages.
You are encouraged to report violations of this policy to the Program Director. The organization prohibits retaliation against any Team Member for reporting a possible deviation from this policy or for cooperating in an investigation. Any Team Member who engages in retaliation will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate discharge. In the event a violation has been determined, a Team Member may be afforded remedies in accordance with state law.
Nothing in this policy shall be construed to permit a Team Member to disclose, copy, use, or transfer trade secrets or proprietary materials of the organization or others without appropriate authorization. Additionally, nothing in this policy shall be construed to permit a Team Member to disclose wage information of other Team Members to a competitor of the organization. Violations may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge as well as possible civil liabilities or criminal prosecution.
Nothing in this policy will be interpreted, applied or enforced to interfere with, restrain or coerce Team Members in the exercise of their Section 7 rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
