Best answer, probably. Explanation; if you are upfront with the other employees that you have a relative on staff and you intend to treat everyone the same, then there should be no problems.
You can further minimize the appearance of favoritism/nepotism by assigning the direct supervisorial responsibilities of your mother in law to another manager.
Other workers should have fewer or no concerns if they know beforehand and you are not directly overseeing the relative. If it is not possible to isolate your role as supervisor from your relative, you have to demonstrate to your other staff that you are fair with everyone.
Hope this helps. |

It can certainly hurt employee morale and many screaming "nepotism." You will be unable to treat your mother in law as you would other employees regardless if you feel that is not true. I did that many years ago and I would never ever recommend you hire a relative to work in the same department you supervise. To refer them to another department that has nothing to do with your department is fine. Never in your department. You are asking for trouble. Trust me. You will be making certain accomodations for her as they arise that you would not do for your other subordinates. |

I think it is unethical becouse the related may get the schedule they prefer such as weekends off and possibly get promoted more quickly becouse they are related. I know personally becouse my bosses daughter is soon going to have a management position striaght out of high school. It only affects workers if they feel they are not getting what they deserve such as equal pay. If the pay is good I say who cares if a relative is working for the company!! |

It might not be unethical, but it would give a bad impression to the other employees. Most companies other than small family owned companies wouldn't allow this. |
