WHISTLEBLOWER POLICY

At Matthew 25: Ministries, we believe that communication is the heart of good employee relations. Employees should share their concerns, seek information, provide input and resolve work-related issues by discussing them with their supervisors until they are fully resolved. It may not be possible to achieve the results an employee wants, but the supervisor needs to attempt to explain in each case why a certain course of action is preferred. If an issue cannot be resolved at that level, the employee is welcome to discuss the issue with the HR Manager. The supervisor should set up a time for both of them to meet with the HR Manager. If the employee’s concern cannot be resolved by the HR Manager, the employee may discuss it with an officer of the organization. The manager should schedule that meeting for the employee.

Regardless of the situation, employees should be able to openly discuss any work-related problems and concerns without fear of retaliation. The HR Manager and supervisors are expected to listen to employee concerns, encourage their input and seek resolution to the issues and concerns. Often this will require setting a meeting in the near future. The HR Manager and/or supervisors are to set these meetings as quickly as possible, and employees are expected to understand that issues may not always be addressed at the moment they arise. Discussing these issues and concerns with management will help to find a mutually acceptable solution for nearly every situation.

If an employee has a concern about discrimination and/or harassment, Matthew 25: Ministries has set up special procedures to report and address those issues. The proper reporting procedures are set forth in the organization’s Harassment and Discrimination Policy.

Retaliation against any employee for filing a complaint or participating in an investigation is strictly prohibited.

Occasionally, talking with a supervisor or someone in Human Resources about this conduct is not an option. If an employee/visitor feels that his/her complaint has not been or cannot be properly handled, he/she may forward the complaint to the Chief Executive Officer.

NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY

Matthew 25: Ministries prohibits discrimination and/or harassment that is sexual, racial or religious in nature or is related to an individual’s gender, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, genetic information or veteran’s status. This policy applies to all employees/visitors throughout the organization and all individuals who may have contact with any employee of this organization.
