Marchese Ford Employee Handbook
All employees, customers, vendors and
business associates must be treated with courtesy and respect at all times.
Employees are expected to refrain from conduct that may be dangerous to
others.
Conduct that threatens, intimidates or
coerces another employee, customer, vendor or business associate will not be
tolerated. Marchese Ford resources may not be used to threaten, stalk or
harass anyone at the workplace or outside the workplace. Marchese Ford
treats threats coming from an abusive personal relationship as it does other
forms of violence.
Indirect or direct threats of violence,
incidents of actual violence and suspicious individuals or activities should
be reported as soon as possible to a supervisor of Marchese Ford. When
reporting a threat or incident of violence, the employee should be as
specific and detailed as possible. Employees should not place themselves in
peril, nor should they attempt to intercede during an incident.
Employees should promptly inform
management of any protective or restraining order that they have obtained
that lists the workplace as a protected area. Employees are encouraged to
report safety concerns with regard to intimate partner violence. Marchese
Ford will not retaliate against employees making good-faith reports
Marchese Ford will promptly and
thoroughly investigate all reports of threats of violence or incidents of
actual violence and of suspicious individuals or activities. The identity of
the individual making a report will be protected as much as possible.
Marchese Ford will not retaliate against employees making good-faith reports of
violence, threats or suspicious individuals or activities. In order to
maintain workplace safety and the integrity of its investigation, Marchese
Ford may suspend employees suspected of workplace violence or threats of
violence, either with or without pay, pending investigation.
Anyone found to be responsible for
threats of or actual violence or other conduct that is in violation of these
guidelines will be subject to prompt disciplinary action up to and including
termination of employment.
Marchese Ford encourages employees to
bring their disputes to the attention of their supervisors. Marchese Ford
will not discipline employees for raising such concerns.
