office parties

No office parties in the East of England then, or anywhere in Local Government if this trend catches on…..

A furtive kiss at the staff Christmas party may have to be reported to a line manager, according to new council rules.

This is part of a broader rule that says line managers should be informed about “close personal relationships” among staff, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Similar rules have been adopted by other employers but Ipswich appears to have gone further by including fleeting affairs.

Julie Temple, an employment lawyer with the firm Quantrills, said the code of conduct could ultimately be found to be against the law.
