Retaliation for Sexual Harassment Complaints
If an employee or client feels that he or she is a subject of sexual harassment he or she may immediately inform the harasser that the conduct is inappropriate and needs to stop; if the conduct does not stop, or if the individual is unable to or uncomfortable in addressing the alleged harasser directly, he or she should report the incident to his or her own supervisor or to the human resource HR Director, Tessa Tang, ttang@chdestination.com . It is helpful, but not required, to provide a written record of the date, time and nature of the incident(s) and the names of any witnesses.
All concerns or complaints of sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual conduct must be reported as soon as possible. All reports and claims will be addressed and investigated, and the company will take any necessary action to prevent or remediate the prohibited conduct from continuing or recurring.

After any reporting, our HR Manager will work to make sure all involved are aware of the seriousness of a sexual harassment complaint, as the investigation proceeds, and will explore options to resolve the situation, including informal resolution, arranging for a more formal investigation, and notifying the police in the case of any potentially criminal activities. A written report will be made preliminarily, as well as in summary of the investigation. The complainant and the respondent will be notified of the corrective actions to be taken, if any, and the execution of those actions.
The HR Manager will determine whether the case will proceed as an in-house investigation, or if a third party will be contracted to proceed with the investigation.
Complaint Resolution Procedures
Complaints should be submitted, in writing, if possible, as soon as possible after an incident has occurred. The HR Manager may assist the complainant in completing a written statement or, if requested. The following should be included within the written complaint: the name, and position of the person or persons allegedly committing harassment; a detailed description of the incident, including the date, location and the listing of any witnesses; the names of others who might have been subjected to similar harassment; listing of any attempts made to rectify the situation.

The identity of the complainant is normally revealed to the parties involved and the HR Manager necessary measures to ensure that the complainant is protected from any retaliation during the investigation, and after its resolution.
Other Available Procedures
Procedures that are available under this policy do not preempt or supersede legal procedures or remedies that may be otherwise available to a victim of sexual harassment under local, state or federal laws or mandates.
Procedure
Our outlined step-by-step procedure in addressing a situation will include: informing both parties of next steps; begin thorough investigation; come to a conclusion, making an unbiased determination base on facts; establishment of next steps such as written warnings, termination, training, or determining that no harassment has occurred; communication of results to both parties; ensuring that future workplace situations are free from harassment.
Service animals, defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, are allowed on our tours, except for tours that include Antelope Canyon where service animals are not allowed. Only dogs are recognized as service animals under titles II and III of the ADA. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of “assistance animal” under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of “service animal” under the Air Carrier Access Act.
A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.

Any preferential treatment or indications of preferential treatment to an individual for submitting to sexual activity or conduct, including soliciting or attempting to solicit any individual to engage in sexual activity for compensation or reward, or intentionally making performance of the employee’s job more difficult because of that employee’s unwillingness to submit to such actions.
Retaliation for Sexual Harassment Complaints
If an employee or client feels that he or she is a subject of sexual harassment he or she may immediately inform the harasser that the conduct is inappropriate and needs to stop; if the conduct does not stop, or if the individual is unable to or uncomfortable in addressing the alleged harasser directly, he or she should report the incident to his or her own supervisor or to the human resource HR Director, Tessa Tang, ttang@chdestination.com . It is helpful, but not required, to provide a written record of the date, time and nature of the incident(s) and the names of any witnesses.
All concerns or complaints of sexual harassment or inappropriate sexual conduct must be reported as soon as possible. All reports and claims will be addressed and investigated, and the company will take any necessary action to prevent or remediate the prohibited conduct from continuing or recurring.
Managers who knowingly allow or tolerate any sexual harassment or retaliation, which includes the failure to immediately report any misconduct to HR, stand in violation of this policy and subject to discipline, and up to dismissal.
After any reporting, our HR Manager will work to make sure all involved are aware of the seriousness of a sexual harassment complaint, as the investigation proceeds, and will explore options to resolve the situation, including informal resolution, arranging for a more formal investigation, and notifying the police in the case of any potentially criminal activities. A written report will be made preliminarily, as well as in summary of the investigation. The complainant and the respondent will be notified of the corrective actions to be taken, if any, and the execution of those actions.
The HR Manager will determine whether the case will proceed as an in-house investigation, or if a third party will be contracted to proceed with the investigation.

Service animals, defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, are allowed on our tours, except for tours that include Antelope Canyon where service animals are not allowed. Only dogs are recognized as service animals under titles II and III of the ADA. Service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties. The work or task a dog has been trained to provide must be directly related to the person’s disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. This definition does not affect or limit the broader definition of “assistance animal” under the Fair Housing Act or the broader definition of “service animal” under the Air Carrier Access Act.
A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
