Is it a law that if you are in a management position you can not date anyone with in the company that you work for. Is this a rule that the owner comes up with or is this something that the owner can get into trouble for, for letting it go on. The place where I work the manager is dating a employee and they display their affections for each other EVERYDAY at work and the rest of us are getting really sick of it. The girl goes around thinking that she can get away with anything b\c she is sleeping with the manager and they both gang up on other employees and treat them like ****!! SOO is it a law that this is not suppose to go on in the work place, because if its not it should be!

Check your company handbook. Their should be something in there about senior management fraternizing. At least in major corps there are. Then, with all due haste, go to HR with it. They will keep it confidential so you don't have to worry about being the target of some nasty e-mails. Good luck honey and don't give up. If it keeps up, go to the manager's boss. I'll bet his boss doesn't know what's going on.

As far as I'm aware there are no restrictions at law from dating or marrying people in management positions, although from your examples they can have adverse effects on staff at lower levels and disrupt the culture of the firm.
If your firm is a professional service firm - then there will be an independant body which has a code of conduct - and rules surrounding this issue of independence at the workplace. Otherwise, perhaps some industry bodies have articles.
If the company is listed, there are accounting standards which require the disclosure of relationships and anything that could cause a breach in independence for KMP (key management personell).
It is a good idea to contact your HR manager to report the incident if you or others are taken aback by it -and to ask for what remedies are available within your company.

It's not a law. The rule is company based. Check your company handbook for your company's rule (if any applies). Most companies do have a rule in place to detour favortism (by one of the employees towards the other), conflict (personal conflicts brought into work), and sexual harrassment charges.

Normally office romances are discouraged by the top management in most companies. Check with the HR/PR dept.
