c. Establishment of Grantee (Contractor) Policy. The Contractor shall establish and maintain a written nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policy that complies with the applicable law and these

The policy must contain a provision that states that sexual harassment will not be tolerated and employees who practice it will be disciplined. For the entire period of this agreement, the Contractor shall: (1) post its written nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policy or these

Nondiscrimination/Sexual Harassment provisions conspicuously in easily accessible and well-lighted places customarily frequented by employees at or near where the grant activities are performed; or (2) provide electronic notice of the policy or this clause to its employees not less than annually.
