Simultaneous Employment of Family Members

In accordance with the Code of Virginia (Title 2.1-348 1972 Supplement), the University will not limit or prohibit the simultaneous employment of two or more members of the same family. However, faculty, staff, and administrators shall neither initiate nor participate in institutional decisions involving a direct benefit (e.g., appointment, retention, promotion, salary, leave) to members of their immediate families.

As outlined in the Code of Virginia, the definition of "immediate family members" for this policy will mean:

"... (i) a spouse and (ii) any other person residing in the same household as the officer or employee, who is a dependent of the officer or employee or the officer or employee is dependent.
