We have this very clearly addressed in our Employee Handbook as follows:
For our purposes, “relatives” include, but are not limited to, these relationships: spouse, child, parent, brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, father-in-law, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, stepparent and stepchild. “Friends” include domestic partners, persons living in the same household and employees who are involved in an intimate relationship.
Can I Process Transactions For A Family Member, Relative Or Close Friend?
Employees are not to process any transaction that involves themselves, family, relatives or friends (as defined above). This includes any financial transactions; file maintenance, account openings or account closings.
What About Transactions on My Own Accounts?
Do not process any transaction on your own accounts. Cashing checks out of your own cash drawer, making withdrawals from your account for money orders, transferring of funds between accounts, reimbursement for office expenses, etc., must be processed by another employee.
