Love contracts are agreements that companies adopt to protect themselves from some legitimate concerns pertaining to love in workplace that pose viable threat to business, some being very critical like harassment suits. But, these contracts should establish understanding between employer and employee about what is acceptable and what is not. But this scenario forcefully imposes the agreement and does not exemplify a mutual consensus.
Also, even though these policies puts forth protocols and rules of 'relationship' conduct, but there can be no hard and fast directive that can be applied after the fact because everything depends on individual and the circumstances.
It is none of the GM’s business what goes on at personal level between a couple and it is completely irrelevant to talk or judge on the integrity of their vows on his part. I believe, only with assumption and without consultation he concluded by himself and came forward with the agreement.
As far as the workplace is concerned, the issue is whether they’ve violated an employment agreement or broken a law. If none of this is the case, then the contract should have never come into picture.
It’s definitely a start and certainly a better than nothing or trying to ban office romance all together. But at the same time it should not get much into employee’s personal space.
