Why structured disclosure matters
HR needs enough context to distinguish a family connection from an overlapping workplace decision. A structured nepotism form captures the relationship, both roles, and the points where influence could occur.
Capture the employee and relative together, including departments, titles, managers, and work locations, instead of leaving reviewers to search across systems.
Checkboxes identify whether supervision, hiring, pay, scheduling, evaluations, promotions, discipline, procurement, or payments may involve both people.
Send submissions to a named HR or compliance reviewer, add internal notes, and keep follow-up tied to the original facts.
Disclosure moments
Choose a trigger, then adjust definitions, reviewers, and policy language.
Ask every employee to confirm no relationship or report each current connection during a scheduled policy review.
Collect known employee and vendor relationships before the new hire enters a team or decision process.
Recheck reporting lines and decision authority when a role, manager, department, or work location changes.
Document family ownership or employment when an employee participates in selection, approval, management, or payment.
Build the workflow
Start with a generated structure, then add your relationship definitions, decision categories, reviewers, and policy wording.
Specify who completes the form, covered relationships, disclosure timing, and review owner.
Send no answers to attestation and open relative, role, reporting-line, and decision questions after yes.
Notify HR or compliance and tag new disclosures, follow-up requests, and completed reviews.
Keep the facts, explanation, attachments, signature, and follow-up with the response.

Answers for teams creating a family-relationship disclosure process.
A nepotism form reports family relationships that may intersect with workplace decisions. It identifies both people, their roles and reporting lines, and involvement in hiring, supervision, pay, performance, purchasing, or vendor activity. It supplies facts for a designated reviewer rather than asking the employee to decide the outcome.
Follow your organization's policy. Common audiences include new hires, employees in annual review, managers, employees moving teams, and procurement staff. State the audience and trigger clearly so people know when to submit or update a disclosure.
Use your policy's definitions, show them near the first relationship question, and give unsure employees an appropriate option. If the policy changes, update both the explanation and choices.
Collect employee identity, relative and relationship, both roles, reporting connection, shared work, and decision categories such as hiring, evaluation, pay, scheduling, discipline, procurement, or payments. Add explanation, attestation, signature, date, and reviewer routing.
Yes. Send no answers to attestation and open relative, role, reporting-line, decision, and explanation fields after yes. Provide a clear path for reporting multiple relationships.
Route responses to the designated team and assign a reviewer or shared inbox. Tag new disclosures, follow-up requests, and completed reviews. Keep internal notes separate from employee-facing fields and follow your access and retention practices.
Yes. Makeform is unlimited free for generating, editing, publishing, and collecting responses. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge. Revise the structure and policy language before sharing it.
No. It organizes information but does not determine whether a relationship violates policy or what action should follow. A designated reviewer should assess the facts using your policy.
