Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia wants to ensure that its practices do not create situations that lead to a conflict of interest or favoritism. This extends to practices that involve employee hiring, promotion, and transfer. Close relatives, partners, those in a dating relationship, or members of the same household are not permitted to be in positions that have a reporting responsibility to each other. Close relatives are defined as spouse, parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
If employees begin a dating relationship or become relatives, partners, or members of the same household, and if one party is in a supervisory or management position, such person is required to immediately inform their supervisor, Executive Administration, and the Director of Human Resources of the relationship.
Middle Tennessee School of Anesthesia reserves the right to apply this policy to situations where there is a conflict or the potential for conflict because of the relationship between employees, even if there is no direct reporting relationship or authority involved.
The Board of Trustees may review any exceptions to this policy.
