How old do you have to be to work at subway in minnesota?

Why can't subway hire family members?

  • I work at subway in minnesota and my cousin applied but they said they can't hire her because she's family, is that a real law? And why can't they?

  • Answer:

    It's not a law, but they can legally have that as their policy. Many places, especially small places like Subways, have that policy. The owner gets to decide who to hire.

That is their policy and they can hire whoever they want. Whenever friends and family work together, 95% of the time that brings added drama to the workplace. Many employers have very similar rules to prevent these things from happening. Also, collusion is much more possible when you have these types of relationships at work. Never crap where you eat! Try this scenario: Your cousin gets caught stealing and it has been going on for a while. Guess who is the next #1 suspect in this.....YOU. Now if some random co-worker gets caught, they have really nothing to tie the two of you together. If your cousin was stealing over a significant period, it is only common sense to assume you knew something...even if you did not physically take anything.

It's not a law or even an official Subway policy, but there are a few reasons why the store's management may choose not to higher family members. A few years ago at the Subway I work at, the general manager was dismissed for negligence. His two daughters, wife, and family friend quit on the spot, which was half of the store's staff. Also, it is much harder for family members to resolve work problems in a professional manner. They are much more likely to raise their voices or bring personal matters into the situation. The management has to make sure that relatives don't report to each other, which isn't always feasible.

No, it's not a law. But it is apparently Subway company policy, and it's perfectly legal for them to do so.

It's not a law. It's their policy.

Sounds like they just don't want to hire her
