OAKLAND COUNTY WORKPLACE VIOLENCE POLICY
This written policy has been created to specifically address workplace violence and
identifies actions that are considered violent or threats of violence in the workplace. This
policy also specifies disciplinary action for those who threaten, attempt, or actually commit
violent acts or fail to report such incidents.
The Personnel Committee determined this proposed policy was too broad in nature.
Moffitt moved the Personnel Committee appoint a Workplace Violence Policy Study
Group comprised of himself, Commissioner Coleman, Commissioner Brian, a
Personnel Department representative, Malcolm Brown, County Counsel and
Corporation Counsel. This Study Group will report back to the Personnel Committee
at the December 5, 2001 meeting with their recommendations . Support by Gregory.
