It is the policy of the College not to hire for employment or engage in a contract, if applicable, with any relative of department heads, officers, or employees on a full-time or part-time basis without the approval of the Board of Directors. All contracts, if applicable, must be reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors. If, however, two employees should marry or become related through marriage, adoption, or other legal circumstances, they may continue employment unless the employees work in the same department or are in a supervisory/subordinate relationship or either employee occupies a position that has influence over the other's employment, promotion, salary administration, or other related management decisions. If they should be in the same department or in a supervisory/subordinate situation, the College will require one employee to transfer to another position or cease employment. If, however, the College determines that any type of relationship could potentially have an adverse effect on the company/department, the aforementioned consequences could apply.
