Career development 3d
I work as a waitress in a small restaurant. When another waitress job opened, I suggested hiring my 19-year-old daughter. She needs a part-time job while studying. But the manager said no. He thinks we might be dishonest and cheat him. I don’t understand how we could do that or why it’s a problem when my daughter works with me. Can you explain?

    It’s understandable that you feel confused. From the manager’s perspective, hiring close family members in the same workplace can raise concerns about... conflict of interest, for example, favoritism, covering for each other, or handling money together in ways that might be harder to monitor. Even if you and your daughter would never do anything dishonest, managers often try to avoid situations where family ties could create doubts or make discipline more complicated. In short, it’s less about you personally and more about a general workplace policy to protect fairness and trust. more

    Its understandable. Even without theft or collusion.
    If you need leave due to a family emergency chances are she'll need off also. If one of you... gets fired. Will the other quit. If one gets the flu does the other get it. There are too many chances of double absences. Family vacations, events, etc could lead to staffing problems.  more

    Might be dishonest? Instead of no. Start looking for another job, give yourself some credit for asking.

    Many companies avoid hiring relatives. There are several reasons. Collusion and theft is one possibility. When one is disciplined, the other may also... get upset. When one is sick, the other may stay home to help but the company is now short 2 persons.
    I am sure you will come up with many other possibilities and the companies prefer to avoid it. Good luck to your daughter.     more

    Also, many organizations do not engage several me,bers from the same family. Not even partners of staff members.
