Company policy: An employee of our company must be impartial, particularly when dealing with family members. This obligation extends to all aspects of the job, including hiring and firing practices and the quality of service the employee provides customers.
Summary
Employees must be unbiased in all aspects of their job, especially when dealing with family.
Notable Valid Inferences
Employees must not be biased when performing their jobs. This means not offering family members special treatment (whether preferential or unfavorable) simply due to their familial relationship.
A
refusing to hire any of one’s five siblings, even though they are each more qualified than any other applicant
This violates the company’s policies. Employees cannot be biased when performing their duties. This includes overlooking the best candidate for a role simply because they are family.
B
receiving over a hundred complaints about the service one’s office provides and sending a complimentary product to all those who complain, including one’s mother
This does not violate the policy, which implies all complainants should be treated equally—including an employee’s mother.
C
never firing a family member, even though three of one’s siblings work under one’s supervision and authority
This does not violate the policy. There is no information to suggest there is reason for the family members to be fired in the first place.
D
repeatedly refusing to advance an employee, claiming that he has sometimes skipped work and that his work has been sloppy, even though no such instances have occurred for over two years
This does not violate the policy, as there is no information to suggest this action is the result of bias. The company may require that performance from 2+ years ago be considered when deciding promotions.
E
promoting a family member over another employee in the company
This does not violate the policy, as there is no information to suggest this action is the result of bias. It may be that the family member is the most qualified employee for the promotion.
