The City is committed to providing all employees with a work environment free from discrimination and harassment based on race, color, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, disability status, childbirth or related medical conditions including lactation, status as a veteran, or any other factors protected by federal, state or local laws. The City will also not tolerate harassment of those employees who oppose harassment or prohibited discrimination, or who participate in this complaint process.  \nAlthough not all conduct such as that described or referred to in this policy constitutes unlawful harassment or discrimination, all forms of discrimination, harassment, improper or inappropriate behavior are prohibited by City policy. Regardless of whether such conduct is ultimately determined to rise to the level of unlawful conduct, the City will review the circumstances and will take appropriate disciplinary or other corrective action for illegal harassment, improper or inappropriate behavior as necessary. Managers at all levels are responsible for monitoring employee behavior in the workplace and for taking prompt and appropriate action to identify and eliminate discriminatory, harassing, and inappropriate behavior before it rises to the level of a violation of federal law.  \nFurthermore, it is the policy of the City to promptly and appropriately investigate complaints made under this policy, as well as actions which may constitute discrimination and harassment about which it has knowledge. It is the policy of the City to take prompt and appropriate corrective action when indicated.  \nI. WORKPLACE HARASSMENT  \nA. Workplace harassment - a form of discrimination which may occur when an employee experiences inappropriate, improper and/or unwelcome behavior based on race, gender (whether or not of a sexual nature), gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, age, color, or disability status which creates a hostile work environment.  \nB. Quid Pro Quo - occurs when a supervisor or other authority figure makes any employment decision (job-related benefit or detriment) based on the employee’s acceptance or rejection of sexual advances. Specifically, it is illegal for a person of authority to require submission to unwelcome sexual advances, request sexual favors or other conduct of a sexual nature as an explicit or implied term or condition of employment – when the submission to or rejection of such conduct culminates in a tangible employment action. Tangible employment actions include but are not limited to, hiring and firing, demotion, suspension, certain transfers, promotion and failure to promote, compensation decisions, and decisions causing a significant change in benefits.  \nC. Retaliation-punishing job applicants or employees for asserting their rights to be free from employment discrimination including harassment.  \nWorkplace harassment may come from supervisors, co-workers, subordinates and third parties such as customers and vendors. Additionally, harassment may be directed toward an employee identified within the same group or category as the harasser, or toward an employee identified from a separate group or category.  \nII.  IMPROPER AND INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR  \nIt is expected that employees will behave in a professional manner at all times, and treat supervisors, co-workers, subordinates and third parties, such as customers and vendors, with dignity and respect.  \nA. Examples of improper and inappropriate behavior are listed below; however, this isnot intended to be an exhaustive list of behavior which may constitute misconduct. Such behaviors are specifically prohibited by City policies and engaging in them will result in appropriate personnel action.  \n1.
