2015 GNYADA Employee Handbook

PART 18

WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION POLICY

It is the policy of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, Inc. (GNYADA) to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations in the conduct of its financial record- keeping, financial reporting, and financial transactions. It is also GNYADA’s policy to carry out those activities employing high ethical standards. Employees who have a reasonable belief or suspicion that employees, staff, or anyone else affiliated with GNYADA is failing to comply to legal or ethical standards in connection with those activities are encouraged and required to report such activity to Mr. Mark Schienberg, President or Rose Macleod, Vice President and Director of Operations. Reports that are founded on a reasonable belief or suspicion will be deemed “good faith reports.” Such report may be made anonymously or with attribution. Such report should be sufficiently detailed to allow an investigation of the complaint to be conducted. All such complaints will be kept confidential at the request of the party making the complaint, until and unless such time as disclosure is required by law.

GNYADA will take no punitive, retaliatory, or other negative action against any person who makes a good faith report, as a result of their having made such report, regardless of the outcome of any investigation into the complaint.
