(a) The City of Olmsted Falls is committed to maintaining a work environment that is free of discrimination and harassment based on a person's race, color, religion, sex, age, ancestry, disability, national origin, family status, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, consistent with applicable laws. All employees should respect the rights, opinions, and beliefs of others. Harassment of any person, whether directed at an employee, vendor, customer or member of the public, is strictly prohibited. Employees should be aware that discrimination and harassment in the workplace are violations of Federal and State laws and can be addressed through the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, as well as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
(b) Employees are individually responsible for refraining from engaging in harassing or offensive conduct and are encouraged to report harassing or offensive incidents. Each supervisor has a responsibility to keep the workplace free of any form of harassment. In particular, no supervisor or employee is to threaten or insinuate, either explicitly or implicitly, that an employee's refusal or willingness to submit to sexual advances will affect an employee's terms or conditions of employment in any way.
