The College does not prohibit the employment of relatives or domestic partners in the same department or division, except that they shall not be assigned to a regular position within the same department, division, or site where an immediate family member is in a position to recommend or influence personnel decisions.

Personnel decisions include appointment, retention, evaluation, work assignment, promotion, discipline, demotion, or salary determination of the relative or domestic partner.

Immediate family means spouse, domestic partner, parents, grandparents, siblings, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, in-laws, or any relative living in the Employee’s home.

Employees are required to inform Human Resources when the College hires an immediate family member. Human Resources will review to ensure compliance with the College Policy.

The College will make reasonable efforts to assign job duties that minimize the potential for adversely impacting supervision, safety, security, or morale or creating other potential conflicts of interest.

Notwithstanding the above, the College retains the right, where such placement can potentially create an adverse impact on supervision, safety, security, or morale or involves other potential conflicts of interest, to refuse to place spouses and domestic partners in the same department, division, or facility. The College retains the right to reassign or transfer any person to eliminate the potential for adverse impacts on supervision, safety, security, morale, or other potential conflicts of interest.
