To create an effective, safe learning environment, Per Scholas requires all learners and staff members to maintain a professional and ethical relationship at all times. Learners are prohibited, under any circumstances, to engage in any improper fraternization or personal, romantic relationships with other learners or staff members during training. Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to:
- Flirting
- Making suggestive comments
- Dating
- Requests for sexual activity
- Physical displays of affection
- Giving inappropriate personal gifts
- Engaging in sexual contact and/or sexual relations.
Any learner who believes that he/she has been subjected to inappropriate behavior as enumerated in this policy by a Per Scholas learner or staff member, or any third parties who have knowledge of or witness any possible occurrence of inappropriate fraternization, shall report the incident to the Site or Managing Director. If the incident involves the Site or Managing Director, the learner shall report to the Chief Training Officer, or the designated individual in the interim role, if applicable. In all events, such reports shall be forwarded to the Director of Human Resources for further investigation; the anonymity of the complaints will be maintained during the investigation. Per Scholas shall promptly investigate all complaints of inappropriate fraternization and take prompt corrective action to stop such conduct if it occurs. Per Scholas prohibits any retaliatory behavior directed against complainants, victims, witnesses, and/or any other individuals who participate in the investigation of allegations of inappropriate fraternization.
You hereby consent and agree to comply with Per Scholas' Non-Fraternization Policy, which requires that all training enrollees and staff members maintain professional and ethical relationships at all times.
