Sample Employment of Relatives Policy

Sample Employment of Relatives Policy

It is our policy to avoid the hiring, transfer or promotion of relatives of employees into situations where the possibility of favoritism or conflict of interest might exist. Therefore, applicants will not be hired nor employees promoted or transferred into the same department at a location where a relative is already employed. In addition, applicants will not be hired nor employees promoted or transferred into a position in the supervisory chain of command under which the applicant or employee would work (no matter how far removed geographically).

"Relatives" are defined as the immediate family to include: spouses, parents, grandparents, in-laws, brothers, sisters, etc. Although this is the Organization's general policy, relatives who are full-time students may be hired for summer employment at Organization locations.
 
Exceptions to this general policy may be recommended by a manager due to local conditions or unusual circumstances where the intent of the policy can be maintained. Final approval must be obtained by the Vice-President, Human Resources and General Counsel.
