Because good employees can be a good source of recruiting potential employees, we do not have a policy against household/family members, but we state that the Company reserves the right to place people in close relationships (i.e. spouses, children, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc) where it deems approrpriate and has sole discretion of employee placement. This leaves us wiggle room to not have supervisor/subordinate and other potentially troublesome situations (same dept/shift, etc), but yet some flexibility.

As long as they one doesn't supervise the other; we don't have a problem. With the economy the way it is more families are opting for working in the same place to avoid additional gas expenses and other things which can also be saved when mother, son/daughter or father son/daughter or husband and/or wife work together.

Our handbook says:
We do not restrict the hiring of relatives of current employees; however, an applicant will not normally be hired, nor will a current employee promoted, into a position in which they would be supervised by a spouse or relative. No more than two family members may be in the employ of the company at one time.
