supervisory personnel. Employees may also file a formal complaint
with the Franklin County Board of Health.

will be considered in violation of this policy and may be subject
to penalties.

be designated an agent to assist in the enforcement of this policy
by notifying employees who are in violation.
The policy may be amended from time to time by resolution of
the Village of Malone. All amendments shall be in conformance with
New York State law and employees will be notified accordingly.
