Nepotism (See Policy 5020 Procedure 7)

1. The Provo School District believes all employees should be competitively selected on the basis of qualifications. The district adheres to the Nepotism Act regarding appointing and supervising relatives. The district also exercises their right to incorporate other good management practices by extending these prohibitions to include those persons with whom there is a close, personal relationship, and any companies where such individuals or relatives are employed or have any ownership. It also discourages hiring of relatives or others with whom there is a close personal relationship in the same school or department. Employees must recuse themselves from hiring or selection committees if family members or close personal friends are applicants. This policy applies to permanent and temporary employees.
2. The state’s Nepotism Act states: “No public officer may employ, appoint, or vote for or recommend the appointment of a relative in or to any position or employment, when the salary, wages, pay, or compensation of the appointee will be paid from public funds and the appointee will be directly supervised by a relative . . .”
3. The district requires disclosure of the relationship before hire, transfer or promotion to a position in Provo School District. Hiring relatives may be approved if there is no working relationship between them that might reasonably give rise to criticism or conflict of interest. Principal and Directors will evaluate such hiring decisions on a case-by-case basis and consult with the Executive Director of Human Resources and/or Deputy Superintendent.
4. During the initial interview, hiring officials shall ask applicants to declare if they have relatives or others with whom there is a close personal relationship working in the same school or department, if an ongoing working relationship may occur. If the applicant has a relative currently working in the school or department, approval from the Director of Human Resources is required before making an offer of employment.
5. 任何隱瞞或提供虛假個人關係資訊的申請人可能會被解雇。明知故犯違反本政策的主管將受到紀律處分。
6. Employees working within the same school or department who marry may be reassigned at the discretion of the principal, director or assistant superintendent. If the Nepotism Act is violated by a marital relationship, employees will be reassigned by the Director of Human Resources.

禁止監督

2. 被任命者將從指定用於職業培訓的資金中獲得補償；
3. 受聘者的受僱期為 12 週或更短；
