This Whistleblower Policy requires directors, officers, and employees to practice honesty and integrity in fulfilling our responsibilities and comply with all applicable laws and regulations.  This Policy is intended to encourage and enable employees and others to raise serious concerns about financial irregularities within the Agency prior to seeking resolution outside RCS. No director, officer, or employee who in good faith reports a violation of the code shall suffer harassment, retaliation, or adverse employment consequence.  An employee who retaliates against someone who has reported a violation in good faith is subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment. RCS has an open door policy and employees and others are encouraged to share their questions, concerns, suggestions, or complaints with someone who can address them properly.  This may be the immediate supervisor, the RCS Deputy Director, or the RCS Executive Director.  If not satisfied or uncomfortable with the open door policy, a member of the RCS Board of Directors Grievance Committee should be contacted directly.  Violations or suspected violations may be submitted confidentially or anonymously and will be kept confidential to the extent possible while conducting an adequate investigation. The Grievance Committee will notify the sender and acknowledge receipt of the reported violation or suspected violation within five business days.  All reports will be promptly investigated and appropriate corrective action will be taken if warranted by the investigation. Anyone filing a complaint concerning a violation or suspected violation of the Policy must be acting in good faith and have reasonable grounds for believing the information disclosed indicates a violation of the Policy.
