Policy:  Community Care permits members of the same family to be employed or contracted with the agency. The agency will not, however, consider or accept employment applications from individuals whose employment would result in a supervisor/supervisee relationship, or a possible conflict of interest. Relatives are defined as: parent, spouse, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, cousin, in-law or step relative, or any person with whom the employee has a close personal relationship such as a domestic partner, romantic partner, or co-habitant. This policy is also in effect for individuals seeking employment or a contract with Community Care who are related to members of the Board body. Human Resources will resolve questions regarding a possible or current employment of a relative. Human Resources will also resolve questions concerning potential promotions that could result in a supervisory relationship
