"[I](company) reserves the right to take prompt action if an actual or potential conflict of interest arises involving individuals involved in a dating relationship who occupy positions at any level (higher or lower) in the same line of authority that may affect the review of employment decisions. If a conflict or the potential for conflict arises because of the relationship between employees, even if there is no line of authority or reporting involved, the employees may be separated by reassignment or terminated from employment."[/I]
If you and members of your immediate family are employed by Alliance Credit Union, one may not supervise the other nor may they work in the same department. If the manager is unable to develop a workable solution, the President of Alliance Credit Union will decide which employee may be transferred in such situations. For purposes of this section, your immediate family includes your spouse, your children, your siblings, your parents, your grandparents, and your spouse's children, siblings, parents and
grandparents.
Employees and applicants alike have an obligation to disclose the extent or nature of close personal relationships. If an applicant who has an existing or former personal non-working relationship with a current employee is hired, he/she may be required to work in a different area, branch, or department than the current employee. Should two present employees who work together or supervise each other enter into a personal, non-work related relationship, one or both employees may have to be transferred.
Employee assignments related to personal relationships should be discussed with the employees’ Vice-President, the Human Resource Director, and the President.
Your first post! Welcome to the Forum. :welcome:
Regarding your question ...
We have a good nonfraternization policy that's available on HRHero.com and HRLaws.com.
You can find the policy on HRHero at:

405 Personal Relationships in the Workplace
Effective Date: 1/1/2011
Now, we don’t enjoy prying into your personal life, but when you employ relatives or individuals involved in a dating relationship in the same area of an organization, it can cause serious conflicts and problems with favoritism and employee morale. In addition to claims of partiality in treatment at work, personal conflicts from outside the work environment can be carried over into day-to-day working relationships. Therefore, it is necessary that you disclose any personal relationship you may have with current employees, applicants, and new employees.
For the purposes of this policy, a relative is any person who is related by blood or marriage, or whose relationship with the employee is similar to that of persons who are related by blood or marriage. A dating relationship is defined as a relationship that may be reasonably expected to lead to the formation of a consensual "romantic" or sexual relationship.
Unless specifically approved by executive management, relatives of current employees may not occupy a position that will be working directly for or supervising their relative. Individuals involved in a dating relationship with a current employee may also not occupy a position that will be working directly for or supervising the employee with whom they are involved in a dating relationship. Rising also reserves the right to take prompt action if an actual or potential conflict of interest arises involving relatives or individuals involved in a dating relationship who occupy positions at any level (higher or lower) in the same line of authority that may affect the review of employment decisions.
If a relative relationship or dating relationship is established after employment between employees who are in a reporting situation described above, it is the responsibility and obligation of the supervising employee involved in the relationship to disclose the existence of the relationship to management. Executive management will decide what steps will be taken, which could include one employee being transferred or, if necessary, terminated from employment.
In other cases where a conflict or the potential for conflict arises because of the relationship between employees, even if there is no line of authority or reporting involved, the employees may be separated by reassignment or terminated from employment. Employees in a close personal relationship should refrain from public workplace displays of affection or excessive personal conversation.
Exactly what resonated with me about the policy.
