Whether and what action constitutes sexual harassment or retaliation will be determined by the Village based on a review of the facts and circumstances of each situation. Misconduct constituting sexual harassment or retaliation will be dealt with appropriately. Responsive action may include, for example, training, referral to counseling and/or disciplinary action such as warning, reprimand, withholding of a promotion or pay increase, reassignment, temporary suspension without pay or termination, as the Village believes appropriate under the circumstances. In addition to any and all other discipline that may be applicable pursuant to Village policies, employment agreements, procedures, employee handbooks and/or collective bargaining agreements, any person who violates this chapter or the Prohibition on Sexual Harassment contained in the State Officials and Employee Ethics Act, 5 Illinois Compiled Statutes 430/5-65, may be subject to a fine of up to five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) per offense, applicable discipline up to and including termination by the Village and any applicable fines and penalties established pursuant to local ordinance, State law or Federal law. Each violation may constitute a separate offense. Any discipline imposed by the Village shall be separate and distinct from any penalty imposed by an Ethics Commission and any fines or penalties imposed by a court of law or a State or Federal agency.
