Whistleblower Policy

The Nehemiah Center will consider any reprisal against a reporting individual an act of misconduct subject to disciplinary procedures. A “reporting individual” is one who, in good faith, reported a suspected act of misconduct in accordance with this policy, or provided to a law enforcement officer any truthful information relating to the commission or possible commission of a Federal offense or any other possible violation of the Organization’s Code of Conduct.

Due to the sensitive nature of suspected misconduct, supervisors and managers should not, under any circumstances, perform any investigative procedures. The Chair of Finance has the primary responsibility for investigating suspected misconduct involving employees below the Executive Director and executive management level. The Chair of Finance shall provide a summary of all investigative work to the Finance Committee.

The Finance Committee has the primary responsibility for investigating suspected misconduct involving the Executive Director and executive level positions, as well as board members and officers. However, the Finance Committee may request the assistance of the Chair of Finance in any such investigation. Investigation into suspected misconduct will be performed without regard to the suspected individual’s position, length of service, or relationship with the Organization.
