Sexual Harassment Policy


Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC
11777 Katy Freeway Suite 260 South,
Houston, TX 77079

It is Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC's policy to prohibit harassment of any employee by any supervisor, employee, customer or vendor on the basis of sex or gender. The purpose of this policy is not to regulate personal morality within Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC. It is to ensure that at Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC all employees are free from sexual harassment. While it is not easy to define precisely what types of conduct could constitute sexual harassment, examples of prohibited behavior include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, obscene gestures, displaying sexually graphic magazines, calendars or posters, sending sexually explicit e-mails, text messages and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature, such as uninvited touching of a sexual nature or sexually related comments. Depending upon the circumstances, improper conduct also can include sexual joking, vulgar or offensive conversation or jokes, commenting about the employee's physical appearance, conversation about one's own or someone else's sex life, or teasing or other conduct directed toward a person because of their gender which is sufficiently severe or pervasive to create an unprofessional and hostile working environment.

If the employees feel they have been subjected to conduct which violates this policy, they should immediately report the matter to their direct supervisor. If unable for any reason to contact this person, or if the employee has not received a satisfactory response within five (5) business days after reporting any incident of perceived harassment, the employee should contact any higher-level manager in their reporting hierarchy. Every report of perceived harassment will be fully investigated and corrective action will be taken where appropriate. All complaints will be kept confidential to the extent possible, but confidentiality cannot be guaranteed. In addition, Carolina Pintos Therapy, PLLC will not allow any form of retaliation against individuals who report unwelcome conduct to management or who cooperate in the investigations of such reports in accordance with this policy. If the employees feel that they have been subjected to any such retaliation, they should report it in the same manner in which a claim of perceived harassment would be reported under this policy.

Violation of this policy including any improper retaliatory conduct will result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. All employees must cooperate with all investigations.

I have read and understand the above policy and agree to abide by its guidelines.
