applicant in compliance with state and federal disability discrimination laws.<br />
As part of its commitment to make reasonable accommodations, the<br />
Company wishes to participate in a timely and good faith interactive process<br />
with any disabled applicant or team member to determine what effective<br />
reasonable accommodations, if any, can be made in response to a request for<br />
accommodation. Applicants and team members are invited to identify<br />
reasonable accommodations that can be made to assist them to perform the<br />
essential functions of the position they seek or occupy. They should contact<br />
the Team Member Relations Department as soon as possible to request the<br />
opportunity to participate in a timely interactive process. By working<br />
together in good faith, the Company hopes to implement any reasonable<br />
accommodations that are appropriate and consistent with its legal<br />
obligations. Please direct any questions concerning this policy to the Team<br />
Member Relations Department.<br />
Prohibition of Retaliation<br />
The Company prohibits retaliation against any team member by another<br />
team member or by the Company for utilizing the complaint procedure<br />
and/or for filing, testifying, assisting or participating in any manner in any<br />
investigation, proceeding, or hearing conducted by a federal or state<br />
enforcement agency. Any report of retaliation will be investigated in the<br />
same manner as the original complaint. Any team member who is found to<br />
have retaliated will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including<br />
termination. Team members who believe they have been retaliated against<br />
in any way by another team member or member of management must<br />
contact the Team Member Relations Department promptly.<br />
This policy does not mean, however, that a participant in an investigation<br />
will be protected from disciplinary action by the Company if he/she, through<br />
the process, is found to have violated a Company policy or the law or to have<br />
engaged in inappropriate workplace conduct.<br />
Open Door Policy for Complaints and Suggestions<br />
BJ’s promotes a working atmosphere in which you should feel free to talk<br />
with any member of your management team about work-related problems<br />
and suggestions. We feel confident that they will answer your questions,<br />
listen to your complaints or concerns about working conditions or treatment<br />
you feel you are receiving, and listen to your suggestions and ideas. If you<br />
need further assistance, please reach out to the Team Member Relations<br />
Department or the Team Member Hotline. We can’t always implement<br />
every idea or suggestion but if you don’t share yours with us, we will never<br />
know if your idea was the one that could make the difference at BJ’s!<br />
