Garcia said several legal issues can come up for companies, depending on the size and scope of the organization. “The major (one) is when a supervisor dates a subordinate and the relationship goes bad,” Garcia said. Garcia said there are a few different options companies can take if they’re worried about an office romance. Again, office romances aren’t a bad thing at all if they’re handled right, starting with doing some research. Garcia also said couples should be careful in the office about sharing company email systems for personal use, doing constant online chats with their partners or displaying affection in the office.
