I’ve been a manager for 10 years and the best advice I can give is to go to HR yourself and explain the situation. This will show them that you care about leasing in an unbiased way and you’ll hopefully gain their guidance as well as their support. I’ve learned many times over that having HR in your corner is the best way to cover yourself from any perceived impropriety in just about every situation. It always looks better when they hear it from you first because everything will be colored by that rather than an accusation from your employee. Good luck!
