NEPOTISM POLICY
Nepotism is the practice of favoring relatives because of their relationship rather than
because of their abilities; favoritism or patronage granted to relatives in business (e.g.,
appointment to a job.) It is the policy of the company that no “related employees” are
permitted to improperly influence the hiring, work responsibilities, salary, hours, career
progress, benefits, termination or other terms and conditions of employment of “related
employees.”
For purposes of this policy only, “related employees” are those related by blood or
marriage. The following examples are only illustrations of the types of conduct that
may violate policy:
1. One employee, related by blood or marriage, works directly for another.
2. If a manager or supervisor employed or promoted a relative rather than a
more qualified non-relative, that manager would be violating the nepotism
policy.
3. A “related employee” is assigned to a position which would permit him/her to
influence, or give the appearance of influencing another “related employee’s”
salary or other conditions of employment.
4. Two employees, married to each other, are in the same line of supervision
(one supervises the other).
