and/or corrective action will be taken where appropriate.

being handled properly or not being investigated properly, then the employee is
required to take the matter to successively-higher levels of authority.

sensitive workplace concerns at 1-888-437-0764.

The Archdiocese of Atlanta prohibits and will not tolerate any coercion, intimidation,

GRIEVANCE POLICY
In the event an employee feels aggrieved by the action of another employee or supervisor, the
process of appeal shall be that established by the Code of Canon Law of the Roman Catholic
Church for the resolution of such disputes.
The employee may begin the grievance procedure with immediate supervisor. If the situation or
problem is not resolved, the employee should then speak to the supervisor’s supervisor, and so on
up the line. Employees are encouraged to contact the Human Resources Office for further
guidance on grievance matters.
4.6 COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INTERNET USAGE AND SECURITY POLICY updated
June 2023
The purpose of this policy is to outline the acceptable use of computer equipment and technology
resources at the Chancery of the Archdiocese of Atlanta (AoA). These rules are in place to protect
the personnel, equipment, and reputation of the AoA. Inappropriate use exposes the AoA to risks
that could affect the daily operation of the Chancery in its ability to support the administrative and
ministry mission of the Chancery and parishes. This policy is to prevent the compromise of
network systems and services, and the potential for legal issues. The proponent of this policy is the
Office of Information Technology. Any questions or concerns should be directed to that office.
