Reporting Harassment is Everyone’s Responsibility:
The Mangy Moose can only remedy harassment which you bring

future occurrences, it is everyone responsibility to IMMEDIATELY
report any conduct that they believe may violate this policy. Always
report any behavior as soon as possible.
Employees should immediately report conduct to management at
the restaurant. If the employee feels they cannot report it to that
manager, they should contact the General Manager. If the employee
feels they cannot report it to the General Manager, they should contact
the Owner. Any employee can raise concerns and make reports
without fear of reprisal or retaliation.
Investigation of Claims:
Your concerns will be investigated promptly, and appropriate
action will be taken in the event that violations of the policy have
occurred. All complaints will be kept in the strictest confidence, unless
it is necessary in the investigation.
Depending on the nature of the harassment, discipline can
include, but not limited to, counseling, suspension without pay, and/or
termination of employment.
False accusations of harassment can have serious effects on other
employees and the culture of The Mangy Moose. If a complaining
employee, after investigation, has maliciously or recklessly made a false
accusation, they will be subject to discipline, up to and including
termination of employment.
