We will not permit retaliation for reporting a perceived or potential violation of the Code of Conduct, Nyack Hospital policies/procedures or laws/regulations, or for participation in an investigation of an alleged violation.
No disciplinary action or other types of retaliation will be taken against any employee who, in good faith, reports a concern, issue, problem, or violation of law, regulation or the Code of Conduct to a manager or supervisor, the Compliance Officer or the Employee Compliance Hotline.
Any employee who believes that he or she has suffered retaliation for making a report should contact the Compliance Officer or call the Employee Compliance Hotline. Knowingly making a false accusation is a serious violation of organizational policy.
Individual Judgement
As you contemplate a particular situation, consideration of the following factors may help you arrive at a satisfactory answer:
Is my action consistent with Nyack Hospital policy?
Could my action give the appearance of impropriety?
Will the action bring discredit to any employee or to Nyack Hospital if disclosed fully to the public?
Can I defend my action to my supervisor, other employees and to the general public
Does my action meet my personal code of behavior?
Does my action conform to the spirit of this Code of Conduct?
