QUESTION
My company is going to implement a new policy (there is no old policy) on nepotism.

More details to this question:
This will result in the singling out of one employee who will end up without a job. Is this legal? How should it be handled with this employee? The position will mostly likely not be done away with.

Companies are free to prescribe the rules and policies hey think best. This is referred to as the "Golden Rule." ("He who has the gold can make the rule"). There are many reasons to support an anti-nepotism policy. even though an individual will lose a job because of this, it does not make the rule illegal.
