Palace Staffing is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Palace Staffing provides equal employment opportunities to all applicants and employees and does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, medical condition, pregnancy, marital status, military or veteran status, immigration status, or any other status protected by applicable law.
Palace Staffing is committed to maintaining a professional, respectful, and safe work environment. Discrimination, sexual harassment, harassment, retaliation, or any inappropriate conduct toward applicants, employees, coworkers, supervisors, clients, customers, vendors, or any other person in the workplace is strictly prohibited.
Employment decisions, including hiring, onboarding, scheduling, assignment placement, training, compensation, discipline, and termination, will be based on job-related factors such as qualifications, experience, availability, reliability, performance, certifications, ability to perform the essential duties of the position, client requirements, and business needs.
Because Palace Staffing provides temporary, on-call, and assignment-based staffing services, work assignments are not guaranteed. However, Palace Staffing will offer and assign work opportunities in a fair and non-discriminatory manner.
Prohibited Conduct
Prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to:
- Sexual harassment, including unwelcome sexual comments, jokes, touching, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, physical, or visual conduct of a sexual nature.
- Discrimination or unfair treatment based on any protected characteristic.
- Harassment, offensive comments, insults, threats, intimidation, bullying, or inappropriate behavior.
- Retaliation against any person who reports a concern, participates in an investigation, requests an accommodation, or supports another person’s complaint.
Reporting Procedure
Any applicant or employee who experiences, witnesses, or becomes aware of discrimination, sexual harassment, harassment, retaliation, or any inappropriate workplace conduct should report the matter as soon as possible.
Reports may be made to:
- A supervisor or manager
- Palace Staffing’s office or administrative representative
- Human Resources or the designated company representative
- Any member of management the employee feels comfortable contacting
Employees should provide as much information as possible, including the date, time, location, people involved, witnesses, and a description of what happened.
Investigation and Corrective Action
Palace Staffing will review complaints promptly, fairly, and objectively. The company may interview the person making the complaint, the person accused, witnesses, and any other individuals with relevant information.
Palace Staffing will maintain confidentiality to the extent possible; however, complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed because the company may need to investigate and take appropriate action.
If Palace Staffing determines that discrimination, sexual harassment, harassment, retaliation, or inappropriate conduct occurred, the company will take appropriate corrective action. Corrective action may include counseling, written warnings, removal from assignments, suspension, termination, or any other action Palace Staffing considers necessary.
No Retaliation
Palace Staffing strictly prohibits retaliation against any applicant or employee who reports a concern in good faith, participates in an investigation, requests an accommodation, or supports another person’s complaint. Any retaliation may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Reasonable Accommodation
Applicants or employees who need a reasonable accommodation due to disability, pregnancy, religious belief, or another protected reason may contact Palace Staffing’s office or designated company representative. Palace Staffing will review accommodation requests and engage in a good-faith process to determine whether a reasonable accommodation can be provided.
