If an employee believes that he or she has been subjected to unlawful discrimination, the employee has the right to file a complaint with the EEO/AA Officer. The Town EEO/AA Officer is located at Town Hall and can be reached at 508-495-7330 and the School EEO/AA Officer is located at the School Administration Building and can be reached at 508-548-0151 ext. 123.

The EEO/AA Officer or Town Manager's designee will promptly investigate the allegation in a fair and thorough manner. The investigation will be conducted in such a way as to maintain confidentiality to the extent practicable under the circumstances. The investigation will include private interviews with the person filing the complaint, the person alleged to have committed the discrimination, and relevant witnesses. When the investigation is completed, the Town will, to the extent appropriate, inform the person filing the complaint and the person alleged to have committed the conduct of the results of that investigation.

If it is determined that inappropriate conduct has occurred, The Town will act promptly to eliminate the offending conduct, and where it is appropriate the Town will also impose disciplinary action.
