Deal with the romance as it relates to work-related issues only.

Wait for employees to bring the matter to your attention. Focus on how it is affecting work-related behavior.

Talk to the supervisor if there is an affair between a supervisor and a subordinate that is creating problems in the workplace, such as resentment by other subordinates.
-
Step 6
Arrange to transfer the supervisor, not the subordinate, if necessary.

Focus on office behavior if a nasty breakup results in the two ex-lovers being unprofessional in the workplace.

Terminate both employees if their behavior continues to disrupt the workplace.
