Arguably this would shield the company from lawsuits if things go south and one party files a sexual harassment lawsuit. The employer can claim ignorance, point to the policy, and fire both parties.
- BinaryIdiot 10y agoWould it though? I'm not a lawyer but what's the difference between the employer understanding there is a consensual relationship and then sexual harassment is accused versus not knowing about a relationship and the same thing occurring? It's not like the company knew about sexual harassment and once they know about it they'll likely be terminating the offending party. So why would them knowing there is a consensual relationship add to their accountability?
