Camille Olson Quoted in Chicago Sun-Times "Office Romance Could Lead to Love Contract”

Camille Olson is quoted in the article, "Office Romance Could Lead to Love Contract," published in the February 14, 2008 issue of the Chicago Sun-Times. The article, a propos of its publication on Valentine’s Day, discusses love contracts, which are intended to protect employers should romances between coworkers turn sour.

Camille notes that a love contract stipulates that the relationship is consensual, not coerced and not designed to help advance anyone's career. She further states that legally, companies can't have a blanket policy prohibiting employees from so-called "off-duty legal activity," including dating. That is "unless there is some job-related business reason why it's appropriate for the employee to regulate it," such as one is in a supervisory role, she said.
