Description: Employment of Relatives

Adopted: 04/23/96
Revisions Approved: 07/28/2009; 08/25/2020

Members of the same immediate family may be employed either on a full- or part-time basis so long as they are not placed in positions where one employee is responsible for the supervision of another or where the handling of confidential information could create an actual or perceived conflict of interest and/or an inappropriate or unethical situation. Management reserves the right to limit the employment of relatives in situations within the College if a conflict of interest is deemed to exist.

For purposes of this policy, a “relative” is a spouse, domestic partner, parent, grandparent, sibling, child, grandchild, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew or first cousin, parent‐in‐law, brother or sister‐in‐law, or any spouse of any of the foregoing. Additionally, relatives are individuals related by blood, marriage and/or adoption.
