Non-retaliation and Follow-up

Resolution of the complaint via imposition of corrective or other action does not conclude the complaint process.   The City of Mandeville maintains an affirmative duty to protect its employees from harassment, reprisal, or retaliation.  This protection extends to any employee making a good faith complaint of sexually inappropriate behavior, as well as those individuals providing information or participating in the investigative process.  Employees can be assured that if a complaint is made and a n investigation reveals that harassment, retaliation or reprisal has occurred, severe disciplinary action will be imposed.

To ensure this protection, the Human Resources Director will follow-up with the complainant to determine whether there has been a recurrence of the behavior complained of or whether the complainant has suffered any adverse consequence for having filed a complaint.
