University of Wisconsin-Parkside
Children in the Workplace
Policy #77

Statement of Policy:

Liability and efficiency considerations require that the presence of children in the workplace be restricted to occasional visits or emergency situations only.

Administration of Policy:

Employing departments will be expected to monitor and address any complaints regarding disruptions caused by children brought to the work site that would interfere with work of other employees. Department Heads are to advise the Human Resource Office of decisions/actions taken to resolve complaints.

Should a complaint be brought to the attention of the Human Resource Office directly, the matter will be directed to the specific employing Department Head to review and advise on action taken as noted in the above administrative policy statement.

Final Review (If Applicable):

Any continued complaint/concerns will be directed to the Vice Chancellor for Administration and Fiscal Affairs to determine if the complaint is valid within the context of the existing Children in the Workplace Policy. Assistance by the Human Resource Office at this stage will be provided as needed to resolve any continuing concern. Assistance from our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) vendor may be requested as needed at this state.
