The hotline is hosted by a third party, NAVEX™, and uses its confidential call center or secure internet site to receive your reports. You may use the hotline to file a report or follow up on a prior report. Whether you call or report online, you will be given instructions on how to complete your report. You will be asked to provide as much detailed information as possible and if you are reporting online, you will have the ability to attach documents. You may choose to remain anonymous when submitting your report; however, keep in mind it is usually easier to conduct a more complete investigation if you identify yourself and those involved. Your report will be logged and routed to someone designated by the Compliance Team for follow up.
When submitting your report, you will be given a unique report key and asked to create a personal password. You will need this information to follow up on your report and check the status. We ask that you follow up within 5-7 business days. Please check back with the hotline to:
- View acknowledgement that your report was received
- Find out if additional information is needed to process your report
- Provide any new information related to your report
- View updates or resolution
Continued follow up is especially important for anonymous reports since we have no other means to communicate with you. If you have identified yourself when submitting your report, someone designated by the Corporate Compliance Committee will contact you directly to discuss your concern.
Because of the high level of security that is maintained for these reports, if you lose your report key or password, you will need to fill out a new report. You should mention in the new report that it is related to a report you previously filed.
