Whistleblower
Policy
- A
whistleblower
as
defined
by
this
policy
is
an
employee
of
Goodwill
Industries
of
Lane
and
South
Coast
Counties
who
reports
an
activity
that
he/she
considers
to
be
illegal
or
dishonest
to
one
or
more
of
the
Directors,
President/CEO
or
designated
Board
member.
The
whistleblower
is
not
responsible
for
investigating
the
activity
or
for
determining
fault
or
corrective
measures;
appropriate
management
officials
are
charged
with
these
responsibilities.
- Examples
of
illegal
or
dishonest
activities
are
violations
of
federal,
state,
or
local
laws;
billing
for
services
not
performed
or
for
goods
not
delivered;
or
other
fraudulent
financial
reporting;
or
the
reporting
of
OSHA
or
other
safety
law
violations.
- If
an
employee
has
knowledge
of
or
a
concern
of
illegal,
dishonest
or
fraudulent
activity,
the
employee
is
to
contact
Ethicspoint
via
telephone
hotline
or
website
to
file
the
report.
The
employee
must
exercise
sound
judgment
to
avoid
baseless
allegations.
An
employee
who
intentionally
or
knowingly
files
a
false
report
of
wrongdoing
will
be
subject
to
disciplinary
action
up
to
and
including
termination.
