Employee Fraternization Policy

Employee Fraternization Policy
‘Name of the Company’’s Fraternization policy outlines the guidelines on employees

forming personal relationships with each other. We don’t want to place mindless
restrictions on employees dating colleagues, as we understand that freedom of selecting
one’s partner is an individual’s right. But, in the absence of rules and guidelines, romantic
relationships between colleagues are likely to impact our workplace negatively. This policy
will impose restrictions to maintain workplace activity and command.
Purpose
This Policy aims to guarantee a safe and professional work environment
among employees. There is a possibility that work relationships may
evolve into romantic relationships because they spend a massive amount
of their work time together. For this reason, company policies include
specific language regarding fraternization.
Scope
This policy applies to all the employees of ‘Name of the Company’
regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
For the intent of this policy, “dating” includes consensual romantic

relationships and sexual relations. Non-consensual relationships
represent sexual harassment, and we forbid them strictly.
Dating in the Workplace

If not handled properly, dating colleagues may result in problems. This
can happen due to many reasons. The colleagues who are dating may
spend a lot of working time talking to each other instead of working.
Workplace peace can be disrupted because of fights or breakups of the
employees.
To prevent these, we advise the employees to:
● Inform HR when they engage in a romantic or intimate

relationship with the colleague.
● Avoid discussing personal issues at the workplace.
● If needed, seek counseling from ‘Name or Professional Title of

the Person.’
● Despite the status of the relationship, maintain professionalism.

● Take advice from their managers or HR to solve issues, if any.
When grave problems originate between couples, they can set up a

meeting with HR or their manager to resolve.
Unacceptable Behavior
Two employees who are in a relationship with one another should behave
properly in the workplace. The following is considered unacceptable
behavior by ‘Name of the Company’ and defined as the actions that can be
avoided. We define unacceptable behavior as any action that:
● Is offensive to our employees.
● Disrupts our operations.
● Distracts our employees from their work.
● Reduces our employees’ work performance.
The employee who is in a romantic relationship should strictly avoid engaging in

the following actions while at the workplace:
● Argue after or during the working hours
● Kissing and/or inappropriate touching in front of other

employees
● Exchanging an excessive number of non-work-related messages

or calls during working hours.
● Making other employees uncomfortable by talking about their

relationship in the workplace.
Acceptable Behavior
We understand that you cannot altogether avoid your partner's presence
in the same workplace. For this reason, we have a set of actions that are
defined as acceptable behaviors. The employees are not restricted from
such activities. They are:
● Passing by their partner’s office for a non-work-related chat for

a short time.
● Discussing their plans as a couple during lunch and break hours.
● Traveling to and from work together.

Actions taken by the company
Employees who display unacceptable behavior will face disciplinary
actions, including, but not limited to, termination of the employment.
Employees are obliged to behave appropriately towards their colleagues

who date each other.
Victimization or hostility towards employees for any reason is not

encouraged by ‘Name of the Company.’ It includes any gossip, sexual jokes,
or inappropriate comments.
Any employees who witness such behavior are liable to report it to HR.
Company’s Commitment
Like how we expect employees to comply with this policy, we understand
our responsibilities as a company. We will:
Enforce this policy to every employee in the organization, at all levels.
Teat all employees equally without any bias and discrimination
Prohibit victimization, violence, and retaliation
Examine each circumstance separately and study all aspects and aspects
before making any decisions
We promise to keep our employees’ freedom and rights in mind and to

follow the law.
