Good Morning! If you have some kind of workplace romance policy that requires disclosure of romantic involvement with a co-worker, we are interested in how it plays out in reality. 1. What constitutes a need to report a romantic relationship? 2. Do you have a definition for a romantic relationship in your policy? 3. How is it reported? Verbally, in writing, etc.? 4. If only one party reports the relationship, do you confirm that it is taking place with the other party and tell the employee who reported it that you intend to do so? 5. Is the couple advised that they must report the ending of the relationship and do you confirm with the other party is has ended? 6. Where and how is the documentation kept? 7. If you are out for dinner on the weekend and see a couple from work canoodling in the corner who haven't reported their romance, what do you do? 8. What is done about elected officials and reporting? 9. Have you had any complaints filed or lawsuits threatened regarding the policy? 10. Have there been any public records issues? 11. Have any romances gone awry that resulted in a civil protection order and how was that handled? 12. Has any discipline been issued as a result of the policy and if challenged, was it upheld? 13. Have you had anonymous complaints or otherwise from any non-involved parties wanting to report someone else's failure to report their romantic relationship? 14. How has the policy worked out so far? We appreciate any help you can provide as we consider expanding our policy to include reporting of consensual workplace relationships. Thank you in advance for your feedback. Have a great day!
