1.07 EMPLOYMENT OF RELATIVES In order to provide an effective management atmosphere, no relatives (parent, grandparent, grandchild, spouse, sibling, child, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, and step relations or in-laws of these relatives) may be employed for full-time, part-time, or seasonal employment with the City. However, a seasonal position may be filled by an individual who is related to a City employee other than Department Heads, Governing CITY OF LEAWOOD EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK 6 Body Members, or the City Administrator as long as the individual is not placed in a position that will supervise or be supervised directly or indirectly by another family member. 1.08 NON-FRATERNIZATION Employees who marry or become members of the same household may continue employment as long as there is not a direct reporting relationship or they work for the same Department Head. Should this occur, the employee is responsible for immediately notifying their Supervisor. If the City Administrator becomes involved (members of the same household) with another employee, he/she must immediately notify the Mayor. Upon notification, one of the employees must apply for a transfer and make the transition within ninety (90) days. If neither of the employees resign nor transfer to another department, then the employment of one of the employees involved will be terminated as determined by the Governing Body.
