| I just got done doing some searching, but I can't find an answer to my question.
Are companies allowed to hire a relative of yours? For example, you work at your job, and your brother/sister wants to work there too. Now, the reason I'm asking is, if they are indeed allowed to, then what if you are against it? Okay, here's whats bothering me. I'll just come out and say it. Not saying that she is, but what if my sister ever decided that she wanted to work at my job? But, I don't get along with her. Now my sister can just bad mouth me to all of my co-workers, who are my friends. Is this allowed or not? Or does it depend on the company? This kid at my job was able to work there with his mother. She was there first though. Now, wouldn't they have to ask her if she is okay with it? They can't just go ahead and hire him right? |

| That's kind of tough I would sit and have a talk and tell her about how
you dont get along and that it would decrease "work ablilties" for you two |

| I've worked with my brother a few times at various jobs and since we never got along all that great outside of work, we didn't mesh all that well inside work. However, my current GM's brother is working with him and I haven't seen them having any issues b/c they seem to be on good terms previously.
If you don't want your sister to get hired, tell your boss. It's just that simple. He may take it into consideration but there is no law that says she cannot be hired simply b/c you don't want her to. |

| It's not that its actually happening. I just get worried easily. My sister works at her job, but she has been wanting to quit there because she doesn't like it there. Me and my sister can get along, but she worked at my job she would just tell all of my co-workers that I'm really this and that. It should be wrong to hire a relative of yours unless you are okay with it. I'm hoping that someone who knows the work system could answer this question for me. | |||

| Well... the whole issue with making exceptions for relatives is that one doesn't have to be your relative to have a similar situation--meaning that the whole relative thing wouldn't be the deciding issue, and trying to make it be such is a bit unfair.
In other words, you could have a similar issue with someone else doing that, and it would have a different slant, just based on them being a non-relative, so... yeah. Take it how you will. |

| I personally work with my brother at a local Wendy's burger outlet. Many people I know do too. But, it's just a question of employer preference. Does he/she appreciate the idea that it might cause a rivalry or poor work ethic, or do they just not care? | |||

| It's not a legal issue, it's a matter of company policy. You'd have to ask your boss how it works at your job.
At my job, for example, the only time two relatives/people who live together/people in a romantic relationship can't work together is when one is in a supervisory position over the other. |

| Forgive me for saying so, but you sound really paranoid.. What makes you so sure your sister would bad mouth you to your friends? And what kind of friends would take her seriously if she did? This is all quite silly..
As mentioned, tell your boss about this if you don't want her hired and she fills out an application to work there with you. That's all you can do, but I would really hate to be your sister in that case.. In fact, I'd be pissed if my brother was so paranoid about what I might do, that he prevents me from getting a job beside him.. |

Well, the thing is, I used to work with my sister. We had a ice cream store we used to work at, and there we quite a few employees, and we had our bad days, but it always was just the attitude that we have a job to do, and then we could discuss later  |

Originally posted by Thexare Ah, I knew somebody would beat me to it. Yes, it isn't a legal issue. It's a matter of company policy. Sure, that company policy might be tested legally, but there are no overreaching legal rules on it as far as I understand, just the usual equal opportunity stuff. Different companies and organisations will have their own rules on the matter, so the only way you will know for sure is as said -- ask your boss or another longstanding coworker |
