Disclosure required
All applicants for employment with Fulton County are required to disclose the names of
any relatives currently employed by Fulton County on the application for employment. Should an
Appointing Authority extend an offer of employment to a relative of a current employee, it is the
responsibility of the applicant to fully disclose the relationship to the Appointing Authority before
the offer of employment is accepted. The intentional failure to disclose a relative relationship
constitutes a violation of this Policy and may be grounds for rescission of the offer of
employment, non-selection and/or discipline, up to and including termination.
Changes in status
It is the responsibility of every employee to keep his or her Appointing Authority informed
of any changes relevant to the Employment of Relatives Policy and this procedure. Failure to
timely report such changes may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Employees within the same department who become related through marriage shall notify their
Appointing Authority in writing within five business days
The Appointing Authority, in consultation with the Department of Human Resources
Management, shall determine whether a supervisory relationship exists between the employees
and, if appropriate, make such changes as are necessary to prevent and/or remedy any
violations of this Policy. Both employees will be permitted to retain their positions within the
department provided that one is not under the direct or indirect supervision of the other. If one
employee is under direct or indirect supervision of the other, the Appointing Authority shall
consult with the Department of Human Resources Management to identify alternative
arrangements for reporting, evaluation, assessment, and supervision.
The term "relative," as used in this policy, also
includes relationships between individuals who are in a consensual romantic, sexual, dating or
other intimate relationship, regardless of whether they are cohabitating.
