Workplace dating rules

We don’t want to place undue restrictions on employees dating colleagues, as we acknowledge that freedom of choosing one’s partner is an individual’s right.

But, without rules and guidelines, romantic relationships between colleagues may negatively impact our workplace.

For the purposes of this policy, “dating” includes consensual romantic relationships and sexual relations.Examples of common concerns are: When serious problems arise between couples, they can arrange a meeting with HR or their manager to find a solution.Example of a possible solution is to consult with and transfer an employee to a different division, without loss of benefits or compensation.HR is responsible for determining appropriate penalties.Employees are also obliged to behave appropriately towards their colleagues who date each other.
