position within KSU and when necessary due to a change in employment status for example, changing from full-time to part-time status.
The University’s commitment to nondiscrimination is further supported by its policy on the employment of relatives. Employment decisions are based on individual merit. The University will consider employment of family member as it considers other external applicants. However, individuals may not supervise family members, supervise persons directly supervising family members, or participate in employment decision concerning a family member. It is strongly advised that relatives not work in the same physical work unit or in positions that affect or are affected by the family member. Employment of relatives is permitted under the above conditions so long as it does not create an environment that is discriminatory or harassing to other employees and does not create an actual or perceived conflict of interest.
Provide for the employment of relatives of KSU employees such that it does not adversely affect the conditions of employment or working environment of non-relative employees.
All departments. The University’s policy is to base appointments and promotions solely on qualifications and work performance. Members of an employee’s immediate family or relatives or friends that live with an employee may be offered employment at the University, in keeping with the guidelines laid down through this policy. For purposes of this policy the term relative includes brother, sister, father, mother, son, daughter, husband or wife (including in-laws), step child, grandchild, grandparent, niece or nephew. Restrictions also include others living in the same household or so closely identified as to suggest the potential for bias in the employment relationship. Other close family (and ex-family) relationships not already specified in this policy may be subject to a case-by-case management review. If members of the same family are required to work for the same supervisor, written approval of this arrangement from the Human Resources Director with approval from the President, or appropriate Vice President will be required in advance. This policy applies to all categories of employers, including faculty, staff, part-time, temporary, and student workers. This policy may also apply to employees that are cohabitating.
NOTE: At no time may one family member or roommate supervise another or have influence over the other's employment, transfer, promotion, salary administration, or other related management or personnel matters.
