06:73:00 Nepotism Policy
- INTRODUCTION
- Chattanooga State nepotism policy is designed to prevent occurrences whereby relatives who are employees of the College are in a direct supervisory line with respect to each other. In order to guard against these practices, the College prohibits college employees who are relatives from being placed within the same line of supervision where one relative is responsible for supervising the job performance or work activity of another relative.
- Tennessee Code Annotated Section 8-31-102 defines a relative as “a parent, foster parent, parent-in-law, child, stepchild, spouse, brother, foster brother, sister, foster sister, grandparent, grandchild, son-in-law, brother-in-law, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, or other family member who resides in the same household.”
- APPLICATION
- This policy shall be applied as follows:
- It applies to any person who is employed as a full, part-time, student, or temporary employee by the college.
- It does not apply to individuals hired prior to July 1, 1980 and shall not be retroactively applied; however, change in the status of employees hired prior to 1980 shall be governed by this policy.
- The employment of relatives is permitted; however, no employee shall participate in the process of review, recommendation, and/or decision making in any matter concerning hiring, opportunity, promotion, salary, retention, or termination of a relative as herein defined.
- The policy shall considered in the granting of tenure, promotion and other employment related practices and benefits.
- VIOLATION AND REMEDY
- The college may remedy any violation of this policy by voluntary transfer, or if an agreement cannot be reached, by involuntary transfer, from a unit or position, or by termination when appropriate.
