Complaint Procedure

Dorian Studio has established the following procedure for lodging a complaint of harassment, discrimination or retaliation.  The company will treat all aspects of the procedure confidentially to the extent reasonably possible.

1. Try to resolve the issue with the person, talk to them letting them know how you feel and ask them to stop the behavior.  If the issue is physical abuse, do not approach the person.  If your attempt to resolve the issue yourself does not work, talk to your immediate supervisor.

2. If you are unable to find resolution through step one.  Complaints should be submitted in writing to HR personnel.  HR personnel may assist the complainant in completing a written statement and/or dictate the verbal complaint, if unable to submit in writing.

3. Upon receiving a complaint or being advised by a supervisor or manager that violation of this policy may be occurring, HR personnel will notify senior management and review the complaint.

4. HR personnel will initiate an investigation to determine whether there is a reasonable basis for believing that the alleged violation of this policy occurred.

5. During the investigation HR personnel, together with other management employees, will interview the complainant, the respondent and any witnesses to determine whether the alleged conduct occurred.
