§ 1-12.2. Reporting violations.


Latest version.
  • Halifax County supports an open door policy and suggests that employees share their questions, concerns, suggestions, or complaints with someone who can address them properly. In most cases, an employee's immediate supervisor is in the best position to address an area of concern. However, if the employee is not comfortable speaking with his/her supervisor or he/she is not satisfied with the supervisor's response, the county encourages employees to visit the human resources management department for further assistance.

    Formal complaints should be made in writing and filed with the human resources management director. Once the complaint is filed, the human resources management director will conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of the complaint.

    All reports are held in strict confidence and are taken seriously. If necessary, the county manager may specify reasonable steps to protect the complaining employee from retaliation.
