  • Sexual Harassment Policy Brief & Purpose 
    Our sexual harassment policy aims to protect the employees in our company from unwanted sexual advances and give them guidelines to report incidents. We will also explain how we handle claims, punish sexual harassment and help victims recover through support.

    We will not tolerate sexual harassment in our workplace in any shape or form. Our culture is based on mutual respect and collaboration. Sexual harassment is a serious violation of those principles.

    Scope
    This policy applies to every person in our company regardless of gender, sexual orientation, level, function, seniority, status or other protected characteristics. We are all obliged to comply with this policy.

    Also, we will not tolerate sexual harassment from inside or outside of the company. Employees, investors, contractors, customers and everyone interacting with our company are covered by the present policy. For further details about how we deal with harassment from the outside of our company.

    Policy elements
    What is sexual harassment?

    Sexual harassment has many forms of variable seriousness. A person may sexually harasses someone when they:
    ● Insinuate, propose or demand sexual favors of any kind.
    ● Invade another person’s personal space (e.g. inappropriate touching.)
    ● Stalk, intimidate, coerce or threaten another person to get them to engage in sexual acts.
    ● Send or display sexually explicit objects or messages.
    ● Comment on how someone looks, dress, sexuality or gender in a derogatory or objectifying
    manner or a manner that makes them uncomfortable.
    ● Make obscene comments, jokes or gestures that humiliate or offend someone.
    ● Pursue or flirt with another person persistently without the other person’s willing participation.


    Also, flirting with someone at an inappropriate time (e.g. meeting) is considered sexual harassment, even when these advances would have been welcome in a different setting. This is because such actions can harm a person’s professional reputation and expose them to further harassment.

    Our company’s rules on sexual harassment
    ● No one has the right to sexually harass our employees. Any person in our company who is found guilty of serious harassment will be terminated, whether they are VPs or assistants. Also, if representatives of our contractors or vendors sexually harass our employees, we will demand that the company they work for takes disciplinary action and/or refuse to work with this person in
    the future.
    ● Sexual harassment is never too minor to be dealt with. Any kind of harassment can wear down employees and create a hostile workplace. We will hear every claim and punish offenders appropriately.
    ● Sexual harassment is about how we make others feel. Many do not consider behaviors like flirting or sexual comments to be sexual harassment, thinking they are too innocent to be labeled that way. But, if something you do makes your colleagues uncomfortable, or makes them feel unsafe, you must stop.
    ● We assume every sexual harassment claim is legitimate unless proven otherwise. We listen to victims of sexual harassment and always conduct our investigations properly. Occasional false reports do not undermine this principle.
    ● We will not allow further victimization of harassed employees. We will fully support employees who were sexually harassed and will not take any adverse action against them. For example, we will not move them to positions with worse pay or benefits or allow others to retaliate against them.
    ● Those who support or overlook sexual harassment are as much at fault as offenders. Managers and HR especially are obliged to prevent sexual harassment and act when they have suspicions or receive reports. Letting this behavior go on or encouraging it will bring about disciplinary action. Anyone who witnesses an incident of sexual harassment or has other kinds of
    proof should report to NESS Management immediately.

    How to report sexual harassment
    If you are being sexually harassed (or suspect another person is being harassed), please report it to NESS Management IMMEDIATELY. In serious cases like sexual assault, please call and inform NESS Management that you plan to call Police and press charges. We acknowledge it is often hard to come forward about
    these issues, but we need your help to build a fair and safe workplace for you and your colleagues.

    If you want to report sexual harassment within our company, there are two options:
    ● Ask for an urgent meeting with NESS Management Once in the meeting, explain the situation in as much detail as possible. If you have any evidence (e.g. emails, texts), forward it or bring it with you to the meeting.
    ● Send your complaint via email. If you address it to your supervisor, please cc
    Wfantasia@NES.Solutions to the email and attach any evidence or information that can be used in the investigation. Management and your supervisor will discuss the issue and contact you.

    Inadvertent harassment
    Sometimes, people who harass others do not realize that their behavior is wrong. We understand this is possible, but that does not make the perpetrator any less responsible for their actions.

    If you suspect that someone does not realize their behavior is sexual harassment under the definition of this policy, let them know and ask them to stop. Do so preferably via email or text so you can have records.

    Please do not use this approach when:
    ● Your manager, an upper manager, investor or customer is the perpetrator.
    ● Sexual harassment goes beyond the boundaries of off-hand comments, flirting or jokes.

    In the above cases, report to NESS Management as soon as possible. 

    Employees who are INVESTIGATED CRIMINALLY of sexual assault will be terminated after the first complaint and invstigation. 

    Employees who are found responsible of sexual harassment (but not assault) the first time may:
    ● Be reprimanded
    ● Get a “below expectations” performance review
    ● Loss of rank or banned from promotions

    No empoyee’s may have any romantic or sexual relations while on duty, or in any company vehicle. Any violation is misconduct and grounds for termination. 

    We may also transfer harassers or take other appropriate action to protect their victims. We will terminate repeat offenders after the second claim against them if our investigation concludes they are indeed guilty.


    We apply these disciplinary actions uniformly. Employees of any sexual orientation or other protected characteristics will be penalized the same way for the same offenses.

    Social Media Policy


    PURPOSE
    This Social Media Policy is intended to give NESS Employees are clear understanding of what Social Media is and how it affects the profile and reputation of this organization. The following principles apply to professional use of social media on behalf of NESS as well as personal use of social media when referencing NESS, NESS equipment, NESS uniforms, and / or NESS vehicles.

    Definitions
    Social Media and networking include(s) but is not limited to the use of Internet web-based and mobile applications for social interaction and the exchange of user-generated content.  Social media channels include Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs, Instagram, Snap Chat, Skype, forums, online communities and any other similar online platforms. 

    Use of Internet Capable Devices
    The use of personal cell phones on Company time is only allowed for work purposes unless you are specifically on an approved break or lunch period.  Employees should be aware that NESS may observe content and information made available by employees through social media.  Employees must be aware that the NESS Employee Handbook as well as the NESS Rules and Regulations govern the use of these devices and the content posted.  Social media use MUST NOT interfere with employee’s responsibilities at NESS or any Security Officers assignments made by NESS.  The use of social media on Company time is subject to disciplinary and / or termination of the employee. 
    ALSO, after-hours online activity that violates the NESS code of conduct, employee handbook or the Rules and Regulations may subject an employee to disciplinary action or termination.

    NO FRATERNIZATION POLICY

    It is the policy of NES Solutions to not allow any form of Fraternization among or between NESS Staff and the community we serve.  This policy is in full force and effect and guides employees who may form personal relationships with the client base we provide services.  Any type of Fraternization may negatively impact the workplace and subject both the client and the security company to litigation and impact our ability to provide quality service.  It is the intent of this policy to establish boundaries as to how relationships are conducted during work hours and within the work environment. 

    Meaning of Fraternization

    It is the interaction between co-workers that extends beyond business relationships.  It may include a form of friendship with someone, especially when one is not supposed to.  It is the act of hanging out or being friendly with other people, especially people you don’t usually associate with.  It is the employee’s responsibility to avoid any personal relationships with other security staff, client staff, and / or any others the client cares for, is responsible for, and who may report to the client for service or guidance.  At a business this would include any NESS co-worker, client employee, visitor, or vendor.  At a Housing location this would include NESS Staff, client employee, visitors, vendors, Resident, friends or relatives of any resident.    

    Meaning of Work Environment

    The work environment includes all locations the security company is contracted to provide services.  This may include several locations in the same area or multiple locations in a region. The NESS Staff member shall not remain on or near the property after working hours for any real or imagined reason.  If NESS Staff has knowledge of a friend, or immediate or extended family member resides in any location under we perform security at, the NESS EMPLOYEE MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY the appropriate District Manager as well as NESS Office Manager.  The staff member may be required to submit a brief explanation of the information.

    This policy does not prohibit conversation with one another but regulates where, and when those conversations may take place.  At no time shall a security guard enter a residence unless it is a medical or imminent safety emergency and police and / or medical services have been notified. 

    At no time shall any of NESS Staff visit, spend time with, stay with a resident, resident guest, visitors, or client staff unless required as part of a medical or safety necessity. 

    REPORTING INFORMATION

    All NESS Staff is required to IMMEDIATELY report close personal relationships through a designated channel.  The reporting procedure would be verbal and through follow-up written documentation.  The NESS member shall cooperate in any investigation regarding possible violations of this policy.

    CONSEQUENCES of POLICY VIOLATION

    This policy shall not be violated, and the guard or NESS Supervisor shall be immediately removed and face disciplinary action that may include Suspension and Termination.

    ● If a time off request is submitted 30+ days in advance and it is not a HOLIDAY the request will be approved. 

    ● If a time off request is less than 30 days in advance, the approval is determined by how much notice is given and whether or not we can fill the shift with someone else. You should also notify dispatch of this late request.

    ● Management would need to then approve or deny the request. 

    Pay Periods 

    Employees are paid on Tuesdays. Checks are mailed out weekly and it takes about 10 days (or sometimes a little longer) to get your first check... then you are paid every 7 days after that if you work weekly.

    Employee Orientation Information Module 2 Employee Evaluation and Discipline Policy

  • Introduction 

    It is the policy of N.E.S. Solutions (NESS) as an entire organization to promote a positive, healthy working environment. In some cases, employees are unaware of certain behaviors and actions that prevent them from achieving acceptable performance levels. 

    Disciplinary action is helpful to the organization because NESS, in almost all cases, is responsible for the actions of its staff while they are employed and/or working. For this reason, it is the policy of NESS to investigate and strictly control the type of behaviors that are appropriate and behavior that is not acceptable. 

    Purpose of this Policy 

    The purpose of this policy is to alert employees to their behavior and actions and help them understand how these actions inhibit performance and productivity. 

    Workplace discipline is in most cases progressive as a teaching and improvement tool. Employees who engage in these behaviors are subject to disciplinary action and may face eventual suspension and / or termination. 

     Progressive Discipline

    NESS has a progressive discipline system that generally starts with a verbal warning, and if continued may lead to a written warning which may involve a paid or unpaid suspension up to and including employee termination for serious company policy violations or violations of State and/or Federal Law. 

    Minor infractions are discussed with the employee as a coaching tool, while more serious conduct may require an immediate guard removal or termination. 

    NESS does document infractions such as TrackTik violations, violation of any company policy, all guard warnings, callouts, tardy arrivals, failure to properly clock-out, compliance checks and most supervisor visits whether informal or formal supervisor visits. 

    This documentation is kept on file for employee and management review. It is the policy of NESS to maintain personnel files that accurately reflect the employees job performance and work-history. 

    Progressive Disciplinary Step Process

    ● Step 1 minor violations include counseling by a manager and a verbal warning

    ● Step 2 violations include the above and other violations in a written warning

    ● Step 3 violations include suspension, a final written warning and an investigation by a manager 

    ● Step 4 violations include termination of employment 

    Human Resources shall keep records of the process. 

    Appeals Process

    Completed by an independent NESS manager (or) higher not involved in the initial event that led to discipline 

    Company policy violations of a serious nature are not the subject of progressive discipline and result in immediate discipline. 

    These include but are not limited to: 

    ● Performance and conduct Issues such as a no call, no show for work, and/or abandoning a work site during your scheduled shift, possession or use of alcohol, marjuana, being under the influence of prescription drugs.  

    Employee Notification 

    Managers shall notify employees when they begin a progressive discipline procedure. Pointing out a performance issue is not necessarily a verbal warning and may be part of the regular feedback an employee receives. This feedback should be noted as documentation only in a guard warning. 

    The step process shall be explained to any employee who receives a verbal, written warning, or more serious warning and shall be done privately. The employee must be provided specific information about the violated policy. Supervisors should also provide employees with informal and formal coaching and provide work related advice as needed to improve employee performance and client satisfaction. 

    Chronic Violators 

    Employees who continue to violate our policies, either voluntarily or unintentionally will be terminated from employment. 

    Performance Issues (Begins Step 1 and/or Step 2)

    FOLLOWING IS THE ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY OF NES SOLUTIONS. WE REQUEST YOU READ THIS POLICY THOROUGHLY, SIGN THE DISCLOSURE  AND COPY WILL BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST.   

     THE ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND COMPLIANCE WITH THIS POLICY IS A  CONDITION OF EMPLOYMENT AND BEING EMPLOYED. 


    DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE STATEMENT

    In 1988, Congress passed the “Drug-Free Workplace Act” ; it became effective March 18, 1989.  

    In response to the legal requirements for an alcohol and drug free workplace, and our company’s  concern and obligation for the health and safety of our workforce, NES Solutions is  instituting the following Workplace Statement.  

    This statement certifies NES SOLUTIONS policy and intent to provide and maintain an alcohol and  drug free environment for our employees who are our most valuable resource, prohibiting the possession, use, consumption distribution or sale of alcohol and/or controlled/illegal substance in  the workplace.  

    In addition our policy will provide information to all employees on the danger of workplace  alcohol/drug use. The policy will also provide sanctions that employees will face for violations of  the NES SOLUTIONS Alcohol/Drug Free Workplace Policy.  

    Finally this policy contains an acknowledgment and consent that must be dated and signed by each employee who receives a copy of our policy.  

    Our Alcohol/Drug-Free Workplace Statement specifically requires NES SOLUTIONS to  notify each employee that as a condition of employment, each employee must:  

    • Comply with NES SOLUTIONS Alcohol/Drug-Free Workplace Policy

    ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY 

    I. PURPOSE

This Policy is  designed to help accomplish that goal by eliminating drug and alcohol abuse among our  employees. Employees who use illegal drugs or abuse other controlled substances or alcohol  tend to be less productive, less reliable, less cautious, a danger to themselves and others.  

    We believe our employees have the right to work with persons free from the effects of alcohol  and drugs. This Policy is designed to help accomplish that goal by eliminating alcohol and drug  abuse among our employees.  

    We regret any inconvenience that may be caused to employees who do not abuse alcohol or  drugs. We believe, however, that the benefits to be derived from this Policy in terms of  enhanced safety, productivity, and quality of the workplace will more than make up for any  inconvenience to the rest of us. We seek the understanding and cooperation of all employees in  implementing this Policy to make our Company a safe and enjoyable place to work.  

    II. CONDITIONAL JOB OFFER SCREENING 

    NES SOLUTIONS will utilize conditional job offer screening practices to prevent hiring or rehiring  (a) individuals who use illegal drugs or (b) individuals whose use of legal drugs or alcohol  indicates a risk of unsatisfactory or unsafe job performance.
