Approved by the Board of Trustees of Rockland Community College on October 21, 1993. Amended on September 20, 2007.
Subject to, and in addition to, verification of compliance with CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, Rockland Community College (the “College”) permits the employment of qualified relatives of employees.
For purposes of this policy, “relative” is defined as a spouse, domestic partner registered pursuant to County of Rockland Local Law No. 9 of 2006, child, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle, first cousin, or corresponding in-law, parent of domestic partner registered pursuant to County of Rockland Local Law No. 9 of 2006, or “Step” relation. The College will exercise sound business judgment in the placement of related employees in accordance with the following guidelines:
Relatives are permitted to work for the College, provided no direct reporting or supervisory/management relationship exists. That is, no supervisor will be directly responsible for authorizing payment or verifying time sheets and attendance records of any relative.
