A number of American employers are asking co-workers who develop romantic relationships to sign 'love contracts', CareerOne reports.
Citing US employment lawyer Stephen Tedesco, the article claims employers are insisting on the contracts in a bid to curb claims of sexual harassment.
The arrangements are said to benefit employers by documenting the relationship (thereby avoiding claims of sexual harassment down the track) and to help define how the couple will conduct themselves.
Workplace experts say the contracts are like "pre-nups for co-workers" so everyone knows the rules if the couple breaks up.
