Employee Handbook v.2025

CAMERAS AND VIDEO SURVEILLANCE For purposes of workplace safety and security and to prevent theft and other misconduct, CODAC has installed video surveillance cameras in certain work areas and agency vehicles. If there is any reported incident of theft, trespass, workplace violence, employee misconduct or any type of safety violation (hereafter collectively referred to as "security incidents"), CODAC will utilize its surveillance equipment as an investigatory tool. CODAC will also make use of its surveillance equipment to deter any future security incidents. CODAC also reserves the right to actively monitor, through its surveillance cameras, any areas for safety reasons (to protect against equipment failure, breakage, or accident) or confidentiality reasons (to protect documents or other proprietary information). Although the video surveillance described is intended to monitor for security incidents and other safety reasons at the CODAC, it is possible that such surveillance may monitor activities not related to the CODAC's business. CODAC respects the privacy of its employees. Accordingly, no video cameras will be installed in the CODAC's restrooms or in any lactation or changing areas. The surveillance cameras and any video footage from the surveillance are to be used solely for the purposes of surveillance. Any unauthorized use of these video cameras and/or video recordings is strictly forbidden and may result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment. ELECTRONIC RESOURCES CODAC has general guidelines for using its electronic resources, including electronic mail (email), voicemail, internet access and computer systems. Employees should use CODAC's electronic resources with the understanding that these resources are provided for the benefit of CODAC's business. Employees may use CODAC electronic resources for personal use, during non-work times, as long as such use complies with CODAC rules and applicable law. Employees should never use CODAC's electronic resources for personal use in a manner that interferes with their work duties or any responsibilities to customers. Sending, saving, accessing, or viewing obscene or similarly offensive material on CODAC's electronic resources is prohibited. Messages stored and/or transmitted by CODAC's electronic resources, including the computer, voicemail, email, or the telephone system, must not contain content that may reasonably be considered to be obscene or other patently offensive material. Prohibited material includes, but is not limited to, sexual comments, jokes or images, racial slurs, gender-specific comments, or any comments, jokes or images that would discriminate against or harass someone on the basis of their race, color, sex, sexual orientation or genetic identity, age, national origin or ancestry, disability, or any other category protected by federal, state or local law. Likewise, any use of the internet, email, or any other electronic resource to engage in harassment or discrimination prohibited by CODAC policies is unlawful and strictly prohibited. Violators may be subject to discipline, up to and including termination of employment. Unless otherwise noted, all software on the internet should be considered copyrighted work. Therefore, employees are prohibited from downloading software and/or modifying any such files without permission from the copyright holder.
