Employment of Relatives

policy
Download

There are conflicting theories about the employment of relatives, commonly referred to as “nepotism.” Many companies refuse to hire more than one member of the same family to avoid the appearance of nepotism and to prevent having one relative supervise another. However, some companies consider employing members of the same family good practice and an important part of their recruiting programs. When developing a policy regarding employment of relatives, consider the legal implications of such a policy and the distinction between spouses and relatives other than spouses. Use this Employment of Relatives template to create a policy that fits the needs of your organization.
