Anti-Harassment Policy

It is the policy of Romanzof Fishing Company, L.L.C. (the “Company”) to provide a work environment that is free from harassment and discrimination. Harassment and discrimination of any sort, including sexual harassment, is unlawful and will not be tolerated. Harassment may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

What Is Harassment?

Harassment can take many forms. It may include, but is not limited to: words, comments, suggestive remarks, jokes, pranks, non-verbal pictures or signs, gestures, intimidation, physical contact, or violence. Harassment need not necessarily be sexual in nature to be unlawful.

Sexual harassment may include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, other verbal comments or physical gestures or contact of a sexual nature, when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Such conduct may include but is not limited to:

Sexual flirtations, touching, advances, or propositions, repeated unwanted requests for dates;
Verbal comments, unwanted jokes, gestures, offensive words, graphic or suggestive comments about an individual’s dress or body, and unwelcome comments and repartee of a sexual nature;
Sexually degrading words used in describing an individual or act; and/or
Display in the workplace of sexually suggestive objects, images, cartoons, photographs or pictures including but not limited to, offensive electronic communications or voice-mail messages and accessing pornographic images through the internet or email.

The Company specifically prohibits any discrimination, harassment, or retaliation on the basis of an employee's or applicant's race, color, religion, national origin, age, gender/sex, marital status, veteran status, the presence of a disability, sexual orientation, or any characteristic or trait protected by applicable federal, state or local law.

Examples of prohibited forms of other discriminatory conduct include, but are not limited to: memos, letters, cartoons, e-mails or other visual displays of objects, pictures or posters that depict such protected groups or individuals in a derogatory way; or verbal threats or comments, epithets, slurs and jokes that are derogatory with respect to any protected group or individual.

Reporting

If you feel that you have experienced or witnessed harassment or discrimination, you have a responsibility to report the incident immediately to the vessel’s Mate or Captain or to Chuck Hosmer, General Manager. Reports and complaints of harassment and discrimination will be investigated in as impartial and as confidential a manner as possible. However, absolute confidentiality cannot be maintained, is not promised and should not be expected because the Company is required by law to investigate all complaints of unlawful behavior. Employees are required to cooperate in any investigation. In the sole discretion of the Company, after the investigation and depending on the results, a timely resolution of each complaint will be reached. Retaliation or discrimination against any employee for making a good faith complaint or participating in an investigation is strictly prohibited.

Any employee, supervisor or manager found to have engaged in harassment or discriminatory conduct against another employee, guest, customer or visitor will be subject to prompt disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. If you are found liable for harassment or discrimination, you may be personally responsible for a monetary judgment or settlement and legal fees and costs associated with your defense. The Company may take additional actions necessary to appropriately correct the situation in its sole discretion.

I have read the above “Anti-Harassment Policy” and by my signature below I acknowledge that I understand and will adhere to the policy as written.
