Do employers sometimes employ couples or is there a law against this.?

in this instance i am talking about a college, also, do college's allow workers to date student's. my friend who works there, she's fine talking to me there, but if and when i ask her if she want's to go out sometimes, she say's she can't. i've know clare for ages and once i've left the college there might be some room for a friendship to blossom, what should i do, cos i haven't spoken to her for a few weeks and i am leaving the college in about five weeks.

the other thing! there is this guy there called jake, is he likely to be clares partner. i think he might be, cos i've noticed that clare and jake are abscent when i leave the college at lunchtime.

would an employer allow a employee to have a partner to work with them and assist them.

how do girls feel about working with their partners, i would say it's a no no, what with all that stress from home and outside life i just wouldn't live in someone's pocket 24/7 it would be suffocating.

who think it's possible though.
Answers:
As for company's not employing couples it really depends on the company and local laws.

I work in a very high security environment which employs around 300 people. We will employee couples and family members as a rule but there are certain areas we will not to avoid collaboration. So we put them where collaboration could not be an issue.

My wife works for the same company but in a different area and job role to myself

In today's laws of human resources if the person is right for the job and they can prove that they were not hired due to a partner of family member, they could be taken to court whatever the company's policy.

As long as the company is big enough working together is not a problem.
A lot of companies will inform you when you start that they do not hire spouses or family members... Some companies actually encourage it. I guess it all depends on the company. But no, at least in California I am not aware of any law that prevents this. Just company policy.
There is NO law. But, most companies will not employ couples. It brings their private life to work..which is not a good thing. In fact, employers have every right to terminate those employees who are seeing each other at the workplace.
There is no law against it but most companies have a policy that is a no no. It could cause a conflict of interest.
There is no law against couples working together. The company may discourage it or move one of the party to another department/shift if they find out about it.

I would not want to work with my husband (but that' mostly where he works). But if I was to start seeing someone at work, I certainly wouldn't quit (or ask them to quit) for the sake of our relationship.
There aren't laws against hiring couples. You can have a whole family work together at the same place in fact. Some places have internal policies that are against some related situations though. For example if a principal and teacher are married then one'll have to work in a different district so that the teacher won't be getting positive evaluations all the time from their spouse... this is a school policy. If a Wal*Mart manager has a relationship with a cashier then they can't work during any overlapping times... this is a company policy.

At a college, it depends on what the jobs are. At my own college, 2 math teachers are married to each other and it's fine because one isn't the other's supervisor or giving grades to the other, or anything like that. If you're a student in a class that your friend Clare is a teacher's aide in, then she'll have to not date you while you're in the class so that there won't be a conflict of interest. If you do ask her out before grades are turned in (which is usually a few days after the end of school) then it'd be pretty disrespectful towards her since this is kinda common sense. If it was me, I'd see if she's gonna be working in the fall, and just leave her alone for now and come back and look for her in the fall.
anyone who attacks a couple is evil... if they attack your relationship you can attack theres.

fairs fair and all that.


they can easily have you if diff deptments or some compromise like that.


the only problem I see is when one is authourity ver the other which couple be awkard
