UPI Employee Handbook
Employment of Relatives
Relatives of employees are welcome to apply for employment with UPI and will be considered for employment in accordance with normal hiring practices. However, in order to avoid favoritism or the appearance of favoritism and/or actual or potential conflicts of interest, immediate family members who are related by blood or marriage will not be permitted to work within the “chain of command” of another relative such that one relative’s work responsibilities, compensation or career progress could be influenced by the other relative (i.e. no direct supervising/management relationship).
A relative may not be in a position that audits, verifies, receives or is entrusted with money received or handled by another relative or has access to confidential information including payroll and personnel records..
