Can an employer refuse applications because you are related to another employee?

No, I have never heard of it.

If it's the reference section on a job application, they are asking if you're a relative, past co-worker, friend, etc.  They will take your opinion more seriously if it's a relationship from a past job.  Relatives and friends will always fluff up your image to help you get a job.

Of course you have to get permission from the Ministry of Labor and Employment. Your new employer usually will do this for you.\n\nGood luck to you

Actually in the US it isn't illegal to give a bad reference although most companies steer away from it due to fear of lawsuits.  I have worked for one company that will disclose all negative, as well as positive information they have in their HR file and staff that have sued as a result.  The former employees that I know that sued did not win their suit as both types of infomation was given and some other legalities I am not aware of.  Can you sue?  Absolutely.  Will you win is another question.  And what's the point of suing if you cannot win.  Usually HR departments will only state title, dates of employment and salary confirmation though.  I suggest calling your old boss and trying to find out what he has against you.  Perhaps all was not right when yu left or maybe he has a personal grudge.  If you did something that left him upset, apologise or explain your point of view.  Ask him if there is a problem in using him for a reference,  If there is, don't use him.  It sounds like you have other references at that same job that will be better anyway so you may not need him.  As for losing the other job, I guess you could explain any problems with your old boss and take responsibility for whatever is yours to take responsibility for but I honestly don't know if it would help much.  Keep looking.  There are other good jons out there and now that you know there is a problem you can rectify it.  Good luck!

I would think it would depend on whether it was "you as employee" or "you as yourself".  Ethically, any personal notes should be deleted or forwarded.  Obviously, it is technically possible.  I imagine you would be on shaky legal ground regarding use of employer's resources for your personal business.  That's just me.  I am not a lawyer.

If you left after two days I wouldn't bother to add it to your application.  In that short of a period the employer didn't have time to form an opinion on your work ethic, so would be unable to give a reference.

Yes.  It is possible for the employer to apply for a change of status on behalf of the prospective employee.  The applicant may remain in the US in the meantime, but may not begin work until the change os status has been approved.

You have to be honest but delicate. Choose your explanation very carefully. They will find out anyway when they call your previous employer. If you are honest, they will appreciate that fact, however; you need to be careful how you explain the situation so they don't think that you can't get along with others. Just be honest.

Im sorry but yes he can, you work for him not the other way around, Its called cutbacks. If you were such an important employee of his hed be asking you to work more One way to find out is ask him why and then tell him you will work there until you find work elsewhere and if hes ok with that find a new job and dont give him a two week notice. The only way he cant do this is if he is giving your hours to someone newly hired. But if someone who has been there longer than you asks for these hours he can its called seniority.

Your employer can't interfere in your personal matters, however if some matters involve direct consequences to the company in that case they are allowed to a certain extent. If your contract of service does not provide for the things you mentioned then you are not bound to do that.

I can't believe how incredibly wrong the previous answers are.  Calling the NAACP?  That's like calling the police to treat a heart attack.\n\nMost people are "at will" employees, meaning they can be fired an any time for any reason that is not illegal such as racial discrimination.  Now your friend might belong to a union or have a civil service job that has rules and procedures to follow before termination occurs, but refusing to sign an evaluation sounds really silly.  If one of my employees refused to sign an evaluation, I would not threaten to terminated them, I WOULD terminate them.

It is possible just depends upon how much "heart" the company has towards their employees.\n\nDifferent situations are seen with different eyes.  Some would see it as you being very uncooperative, and would refuse your request no matter what.\n\nOthers if you can make an argument compelling enough would weigh the costs of your situation against the companies needs and possibly consider not moving you as an option.\n\nSo...make a good argument, and hopefully you work for a good boss that has some compassion for his employees and would go to bat for you higher up the ladder.\n\nGood luck,  Dave.

Unfortunately for you the company has a right and is following the law with such a policy. This usually only applies to individuals who are blood related or are married but since there is obviously a sexual relationship between the two of you, the company has to follow their sexual harrassment policy and not allow one partner to supervise the other.

unhireable might be an internal reference if you were to ever apply for a job with that company again.  Some companies do that and some people do ask in references "would you hire this person again".  Sounds like they are being real jerks about it.  Aren't you glad you are leaving.  Maybe schedule a discussion about it with the personnel office and ask them and bring up your experiences and "employee of the month" thing.  It could be your manager is sabotaging you with the company and personnel isn't aware of it.  Good luck!

you cannot force an employee to sign against their will.  if they chose not to sign then they probably had problems as an employee prior and maybe theyre not meant for that company.  I'd remind them that the eval is areas of improvement and that everyone could improve in some way.  if they chose not to sign still then just notate it on their employee file with time/date and turn it over to HR to handle.

Well, sometimes employers or the Bosses will interview you first, if you pass them, you will have the co-workers and see how you get along with co-workers.  \n\nBosses only make decision on qualification and personal preference, but sometimes, if you have 2 candidates with similar background, they will leave that up to the co-workers.  Not surprised, the finally decision will be based on the co-workers!!

I couldn't agree more. My sister in law was going for a job and had to put down names of references on her resume. She put down a name (my ex mother in law) that the employment officer knew. The name was the surname of my exhusband. The employment officer queried my sister in law to find out if she knew me. My sister in law said that she did, and the employment officer went about saying how much a bitch I was for treating my exhusband the way I did!!! She rambled on about things she didn't even know about, things about me and things about my children. Apparently she is the employment officer for my exhusband and he has set about telling her things about me that is none of her business. To top it off, he lied through his teeth about me to this woman, told her personal stuff, and she passed it on to my sister in law whom she doesn't know from a bar of soap! She doesn't know me and I don't know her, we have never met, yet she shares false information with the general public. I now know her name and I feel like applying for a job through her agency, just so I get my chance to tell her who I am and what I think of her defamatory remarks. What do you think??
