205.05: Supervision and Evaluation of Relatives

The Nepotism Statute (Code of Alabama Section 41-1-5) takes precedent over all Alabama Community College System Board policies regarding employment. 

  1. Within 15 calendar days of the employment of an individual by Enterprise State Community College the individual shall complete a Family Relationship Disclosure Form.  Such form shall contain all necessary information as required by ACCS Policy 205.05 In the event that a relationship change may occur, then the employed individual(s) will notify the Human Resources Office and complete a Family Relationship Disclosure Form. 
  2. In the event that a relative of an employing authority is or becomes employed by an Alabama Community College System office, entity, or organization, all annual and other evaluations (whether written or oral) of the performance of such relative shall be performed by a three-person committee consisting of the Director of Human Resources, the direct supervisor of the relative, and a third employee at the System office, entity or institution, to be appointed by the Chancellor.  The third employee at the System office, entity, or institution shall be appointed by the Employing Authority of the Alabama Community College System office, agency, entity, or institution.  However, if said Employing Authority has a personal vested interest, then the Chancellor shall appoint the third employee.  None of the three members of the committee may be the Employing Authority of the Alabama Community College System office, agency, entity, or institution.  The same committee shall be responsible for any corrective action to be administered to the relative.  Copies of such evaluation shall be forwarded to the Office of the Chancellor.
  3. In the event that any other Conflict of Interest is identified, all annual and other evaluations (whether written or oral) of the performance of such relative shall be performed by a three-person committee appointed by the Employing Authority and consisting of the Director of Human Resources, the direct supervisor of the relative, and a third employee outside the line of authority in which the Conflict of Interest occurs.  The same committee shall be responsible for any corrective action to be administered to the relative.
