EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY
Equal Employment Opportunity is a fundamental principle at Roadway. Roadway does not discriminate in its employment decisions on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, citizenship, veteran status, the physical or mental disability of any otherwise qualified individual, or other protected characteristic as established by applicable federal, state or local law. Equal Employment Opportunity applies to recruitment, hiring, compensation, benefits, termination, and all other terms and conditions of employment. Also, as an affirmative action employer, Roadway is actively committed to fostering employment opportunities for minorities, women, veterans, and the disabled.
Roadway will make reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in undue hardship to the Company. If you would like to request an accommodation, please contact the Manager Human Resource Planning, 1077 Gorge Blvd., P.O. Box 471, Akron, Ohio 44309-0471.
Appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination, will be taken against any employee for engaging in conduct in violation of this policy, regardless of whether the conduct also violates applicable law.
NO HARASSMENT
Roadway is committed to maintaining a work environment free of harassment based on race, color, sex (including same-sex), religion, age, national origin, disability or other classification protected by applicable federal, state or local law. Any such harassment of any of our employees, applicants or customers is prohibited by this policy, whether or not it also violates applicable law. Harassment prohibited by this policy includes, but is not limited to, the following conduct:- Unwelcome verbal conduct such as offensive sexual remarks, innuendoes or comments; sexual, racial or ethnic jokes; derogatory remarks, epithets or slurs based on an individual's sex, race, religion, national origin, disability, age or other protected status;
- Use of offensive stereotypes, and/or other offensive conduct pertaining to race, sex, religion, age, national origin, disability, or other protected status;
- Sexual advances, propositions or requests for sexual favors;
- Unwelcome and offensive physical conduct, including touching, leering, blocking an individual's movement, or sexual gestures;
- Unwelcome and offensive written conduct based on an individual's protected status, such as offensive pictures, posters, drawings, cartoons, photographs or other communications, including e-mail;
- Basing any employment decision on an individual's submission to or rejection of sexual conduct;
- Reprisals or threatening reprisals for an employee's unwillingness to respond to requests for sexual favors; and
- Reprisals or threatening reprisals for complaining about or for reporting a violation of this policy.
Our supervisors and managers are covered by this policy and are prohibited from engaging in any form of harassing conduct. No supervisor or other member of management has the authority to suggest to any employee or applicant that their employment or advancement will be affected in any way by the individual's entering into (or refusing to enter into) any form of personal relationship with him or her. Harassment of our employees in connection with their work by non-employees, including vendors or customers, is also a violation of this policy.
Roadway's policy is to investigate thoroughly and to take appropriate action to remedy incidents of harassment. In order to accomplish this, however, harassment must be brought to management's attention. Accordingly, employees who have complaints of harassment or who observe or are aware of incidents of harassment must bring any such conduct to management's attention.
The following procedure should be used for reporting complaints about conduct in violation of this policy: All complaints are to be reported in writing to the:
