FACTS AND HISTORY OF THE PROCEEDINGS

The following is a summary of the undisputed facts and evidence admitted on the motion in the trial court.

LePage’s General Employment Background and Training on Policies

Safeway hired LePage in 1977, where he began his career with the company as a food clerk. In September 1999, LePage became a store manager at a Safeway store in Elk Grove. In January 2015, LePage was transferred to a Safeway store in Rancho Cordova, and he remained the store manager there until he was terminated in July 2018. As a store manager, LePage was an at-will employee. LePage was trained on Safeway’s policies prohibiting discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. As a store manager, LePage was expected to comply with and enforce these policies. LePage understood these policies prohibited discrimination and harassment on any legally protected basis including race, age, or disability. LePage also understood these policies applied to conduct by or against employees, customers, and vendors. Conduct that violates Safeway’s polices against discrimination, harassment, and retaliation is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination.
