D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 14-7108
Except in special circumstances, usually related to unique skills and qualifications, the hiring or influencing in hiring of close relatives of Authority employees is discouraged. A close relative is defined as a person related by blood, marriage, or adoption as well as employees involved in relationships characterized by the permanence, duration and stability normally associated with family relationships or marriage.
Should individuals become related to one another while employed at the Authority, they will not be promoted or transferred into a position under the supervision of the relative. If individuals become related to one another while employed at the Authority and they are in a supervisor/subordinate relationship, the Authority may transfer either individual.
When special circumstances are authorized, individuals may not be assigned to work in a department or proximate work location to which a close relative is assigned.
Applicants will be required to disclose a relationship with a current Authority employee if it is one of those listed above.
Exceptions from this policy must be approved by the Executive Director.
