FBC Lynchburg Employee Handbook (1)

NEPOTISM & EMPLOYEE DATING

The company may hire close relatives of current employees; however, members of immediate family may not be employed in the following situations: ● If one employee would have supervisory authority over another. ● If one employee would be responsible for auditing or evaluating the other. ● In any other situation that would create an actual conflict of interest. This policy applies equally with regard to hiring, transfers, and promotions. This policy also applies equally whether individuals within the Company are regular full time employees of the company or are individuals who may be working in Company facilities but are, in fact, leased, temporary, or contract labor (co- employee). For purposes of applying this policy, "immediate family" includes, par ents, brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, children, grandparents, grandchildren, and in-laws. If an employee marries or develops a close personal relationship with another employee or co-employee in violation of this policy, management will investigate the feasibility of transferring one or both of the individuals to other suitable positions. If no transfer is available, or if either of the individuals objects to a transfer, the employees involved will be permitted to determine among themselves which of them will resign. If the individuals refuse to make that decision, the employee with the least Company seniority will be terminated.
