Common use of Friends, Family, and Children in the Workplace Clause in Contracts

Friends, Family, and Children in the Workplace. The university discourages employees from being accompanied by friends, family, or children while working, including leaving children on campus in office areas while they are at work. This does not eliminate periodic, short visits from friends, family, and children as appropriate. Anything other than short visits is not permitted and poses a potential harm for children and liability for the university. The university desires to be a family friendly place of business, to faculty and staff as well as to students; however, the workplace is not the appropriate place for childcare. Even during short periodic visits, children must not be left unattended. If an employee is faced with unusual circumstances regarding visitors at work, the employee should speak with his immediate supervisor.
