Harassment Form Explained
Contact Dale Yeilding in the NTEU Union office with any questions at 301-415-3600.

The NRC harassment policy is documented in Yellow Announcement 2007-004.  NTEU and the agency negotiated this policy and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on November 27, 2006.  The MOU includes the use of an Employee notification form below.  This form documents many rights the employee would be waiving by processing the harassment claim through this agency informal harassment process.  The bottom of the form also provides important feed back to the employee, dealing with substantiation of their claim.

NTEU-NRC Memorandum of Understanding

Employees seeking resolution to employment concerns via the harassment policy and procedures will be informed, in writing, of the right and applicable deadline to file an EEO complaint or a grievance, separate and apart from any provisions of this policy.  Employees seeking resolution to employment concerns via this policy and procedures will be informed, in writing, whether their complaint is/was covered under this policy.
