I am the department head of a local successful company. We recently hired a very beautiful 24 y/o lady at $11/hour with benefits. She did not select the right major in college and she is now straddled with a $35K student loan. She is smart and would like to go to nursing school to improve her wage prospect. The local community college nursing school costs around $40K. She is reluctant to take on more debt. No financial help from parents who are rural farmers, and have other children to care for. I do not want to attract unnecessary attention from fellow staff and employees regarding my interest in her. I want no flirting or gifts. I am 52, married, with son in college. I do not need sexual harassment charges. I simply want to invite her to my office one day and tell her that I will pay for her nursing education if she agrees to accompany me on biweekly company trips. I will give her 48 hours to think about this. If she says, "I have a boyfriend, or I am not interested", I will simply back off with no further interaction with her. This, I think, will lessen my sexual harassment risk and exposure to other employees. If she agrees to my offer; well, Game ON!. She will become my OTC/sugar baby. How will you handle this situation? Do you think that this is the right way?
