§ 35.403 PERSONAL INTERACTION POLICY.
   (A)   While personal relationships among employees will sometimes develop, the village discourages any employee from dating or becoming romantically involved with a co-worker. In the event that a relationship should develop between co-workers, all aspects of the relationship should be kept outside of the workplace and all contact between the employees during working hours should be maintained on a purely professional level. Personal relationships that in any way interfere with an employee's work performance may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. In the event that two co-workers become romantically involved, village management, at its discretion, may elect to transfer one employee to another position and/or department.
   (B)   Officials, managers, supervisors and other personnel in positions of authority are prohibited from dating, or become intimately involved with, any employee of the village who either directly or indirectly reports to them. Violations of this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment.
