Ethics Commission Cautions Against Nepotism In Summer Hires
At its May 29, 2008 meeting, the Ohio Ethics Commission issued a bulletin reminding public officials about the restrictions in Ohio's Ethics Law against hiring family members and as a reminder about hiring for summer jobs. Many public agencies hire high school and college students for seasonal or part-time jobs. Ohio's Ethics Law prohibits public officials from hiring a family member for a public job, using his or her position to secure a job for a family member, or using his or her position to get a promotion, raise or other job-related benefit for a family member. The full bulletin can be access on the Commission's website: www.ethics.ohio.gov. For more guidance, feel free to contact our office at (614) 221-1216.
