Sample Letter for Response to Employee Complaint about Smoking Subject: Response to Employee Complaint about Smoking Violation in Colorado Workplace Dear [Employee's Name], We appreciate you bringing to our attention your concerns regarding the issue of smoking in our Colorado workplace. We take employee feedback seriously, and it is our priority to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment for all employees. As you may already know, Colorado has laws in place that aim to protect non-smokers and promote a smoke-free environment within workplaces. Specifically, the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act regulates smoking in public places, which includes all enclosed areas where employees work, as well as common work areas shared by multiple employees. In light of the regulations and your complaint, we have conducted a thorough investigation into the matter. Our findings have revealed that there have been instances where smoking has been observed in unauthorized areas, which is a violation of both state regulations and our internal policies. We want to assure you that we take these violations seriously, and swift action will be taken to rectify the situation. To address these concerns, we have implemented the following measures: 1. Employee Communication: An email has been issued to all employees, reminding them of our company's no-smoking policy, as well as the Colorado state laws governing smoking in the workplace. The email serves as a reiteration of the consequences of non-compliance and the importance of respecting the health and well-being of all employees. 2. Designated Smoking Areas: As per the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act, we will evaluate the current designated smoking areas to ensure compliance with the law, maintaining a safe distance from entrances and exhaust vents to minimize exposure to secondhand smoke. We will also take this opportunity to reemphasize the availability of designated smoking areas to employees who smoke, while strictly prohibiting smoking in unauthorized areas. 3. Managerial Supervision: Our managers and supervisors have been reminded of their role in enforcing our no-smoking policy. They will maintain a vigilant eye for any smoking violations and take appropriate disciplinary action against employees found to be in non-compliance. This action may include verbal warnings, written warnings, or, in severe cases, termination of employment. We want to assure you that we value your contribution to our organization, and we take all measures necessary to ensure a safe and comfortable work environment for everyone. We encourage you to report any future violations or concerns promptly, as we rely on your assistance to maintain our standards.
