Reporting Harassment is Everyone’s Responsibility:

The Mangy Moose can only remedy harassment which you bring

to our attention. To give us the opportunity to address and prevent

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.
