Origination date: 06/01/2018
Applicability: All employees

Policy

In general, employees should not bring children or visitors into the workplace, other than on an occasional, brief and unobtrusive basis. Requests to bring children or visitors into the workplace are subject to supervisor approval. In all cases, care should be taken so as not to disrupt business operations or jeopardize confidentiality and the visitor/child must be supervised by the employee at all times. Some work settings are unsafe for minor children or other visitors, and therefore such visitations are not permitted. The employee accepts full responsibility for the child’s safety and for any damage to property or injury caused by the child’s or visitor’s presence.
