2.9 REPORT WRONGDOING - PROTECTION FROM RETALIATION

All employees will be protected from retaliation for disclosing information concerning acts of wrongdoing, misconduct, malfeasance, or other inappropriate behavior (“Wrongdoing”) by an employee or Board Member of the Authority.

An employee should first report the alleged Wrongdoing to either the Chief Executive Officer or his/her designee or General Counsel, so that the situation may be remedied as appropriate.

If the matter is not resolved, the employee may file a formal written complaint with the Chair of the Albany County Airport Authority.

An employee who believes s/he is being retaliated against for reporting a Wrongdoing that s/he believes has occurred should first report the retaliation to the Chief Executive Officer or General Counsel so that the situation may be remedied as appropriate.

If the matter is not resolved through informal resolution and/or conciliation or if informal resolution and/or conciliation does not appear to be an appropriate remedy, the complainant may file a formal written complaint with the Chair of the Authority.

Retaliation against whistleblowers in any form is against state law and will not be tolerated in any aspect of Authority’s business. If you have any questions, please contact the Chief Executive Officer or his/her designee or General Counsel.
