Fair Treatment Policy

The Library recognizes that at one time or another staff members may become concerned about their work situation. Most often these situations are short-lived and quickly resolved, but a situation may arise when a minor difficulty swells into a major problem.

It is the policy of the Library to:

• encourage maximum communication between staff members and the supervisory staff to insure prompt and fair resolution of any question which may arise
• provide for review of the question by the Library Director followed with a review by the Library Board of Trustees if required
• provide assurance to staff members that they are free to express themselves in an open and frank manner

Further, the continued success of the Library is dependent upon staff members working effectively together. It is the policy of the Library that rules governing conduct be defined and that any corrective action taken is fair and consistent to insure that the proper rights of all staff members are recognized and protected.
