Non-family employees working in a family business

Almost all family business owners are faced with the necessity to hire non-family members within their organisation. Whilst this can be beneficial to the company owners need to constantly monitor their decisions to avoid discriminating against such employees. For example, paying someone a higher pay because of a familial relationship rather than based on their actual merits and abilities is more likely to result in:

1. Lack of motivation for the non-family employee
2. A hostile work environment
3. Lack of encouragement for family employees to prove their competence
4. Family employees may become complacent as they would not be held liable for consequences of non-performance
