collective bargaining unit agreement, immediate relatives will not
be hired, promoted or transferred to a regular full-time or regular
part-time position where:
(1)
One relative would have the authority to appoint, remove, discipline
or evaluate the performance of the other;
(2)
One relative would be responsible for auditing the work of the other;
or
(3)
Other circumstances exist that place the relatives in a situation
of actual or reasonably foreseeable conflict of interest; and
B.
For purposes of this policy, an "immediate relative" includes spouse
or significant other, civil union partner, domestic partnership partner,
child, parent, stepchild, sibling, grandparent, daughter-in-law, son-in-law,
grandchild, niece, nephew, uncle, aunt, or any person related by blood
or marriage residing in an employee's household.
