replyYou can't ban someone from having a relationship. But you certainly can require them to disclose such a conflict of interest to the board.
replyAs a manager of McDonald's?
replyIt is not a human right to have sex with whomever you wish free of restrictions.
replyIt absolutely is for two consenting adults who aren't blood related.

replyNo, it isn't.
replyIn the US, most employment is at-will, which means they can fire you for any reason they want except for a list of prohibited reasons.
reply"Having sex with a direct report" is not on that list of prohibited reasons.
If you can be fired for any reason, then that's it and they can put in the contract that you aren't allowed to drink a glass of water if so be.
replyBut does that make it reasonable for hackers to think that drinking a glass of water is some kind of horrible offence, like some lunatics seem to think about workplace relationships? Which are one of the most common way that people meet and get married.
Having a relationship with someone you have authority over is considered very problematic just about everywhere, in part because the existence of that authority creates problems for consent (among other reasons).
