State is Indiana. My company has a no fraternization policy as follows:
While 'company' does not wish to interfere with the off-duty and personal conduct of its employees, certain types of off-duty conduct and relationships may interfere with 'company's' legitimate business interests. To prevent unwanted sexual harassment claims, confidentiality lapses, uncomfortable working relationships, morale problems among employees and even the appearance of impropriety, managers supervisors, and employees of company are strictly prohibited from engaging in consensual romantic or sexual relationships with any other manager, supervisor or employee of company. If a romantic or sexual relationship does develop between a supervising employee and his or her subordinate, management should be notified immediately so that the situation may be considered and a solution, including the potential separation of an employee, may be determined. During working hours and in work areas, employees of company are expected to keep all personal interactions limited and at a professional level to avoid distracting and offending others.
While it says no fraternization is allowed, it only addresses what to do if a manager/subordinate relationship forms. How would you handle if it you were a manager wanting to date another manager? Same level of management but different departments so minimal interaction. If the relationship started and management was made aware, are they able to terminate legally?
