Post by raikky »

Just wondering are we allowed to use our loyalty cards when fueling up. I asked my manager who said u shouldnt. So is it a sackable offence.

Who is ever going to find out? loyalty points are never shown on the fuel receipt.

I've done it with my Tescos points no one said anything as everybody was doing it and it ensures that the van is fuelled up. before we got the cards hardly anyone went near the fuel island in the yard as a result many vans was running on fumes as there were no incentive to fill up.

This statement is fully correct, though be aware we are not allowed to receive gifts for work and by getting loyalty points you could be breaking the law, and as such you need to take the below into consideration


https://www.myroyalmail.com/mrm/appnews" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... aspx?i=335

Christmas and the Bribery Act

Tuesday 29 November

It’s the season of goodwill.

But it’s important to be careful about accepting gifts so you don’t fall foul of the Bribery Act.

Christmas tips are allowed. But they should never be accepted in return for favours, for example, earlier delivery, enhanced collection etc.

Other guidelines

Bribes must never be offered or given – nor requested or accepted. A bribe is not just about money, it could be any gift, hospitality or favour
Gifts may only be given or accepted up to a value of £30; any gifts over £30 must be politely declined
Hospitality may only be given or accepted where there is a business reason. Limits apply:
o Hospitality less than £25 per head in the course of business meetings is allowed and does not require pre-approval or registration

o Hospitality greater than £25 per head requires line manager pre-approval and must be recorded in the Gifts and Hospitality register (Intranet link)

o Hospitality greater than £100 per head also requires a functional director’s pre-approval and must be recorded in the Gifts and Hospitality register (Intranet link)

Penalties
The penalties under the Bribery Act are severe:

Individuals could face unlimited fines and imprisonment for up to 10 years

Companies face loss of reputation, unlimited fines and could be barred from participating in public procurement contracts.

"Who is ever going to find out?" is what many a crook 'of previous good character' thought. :shock:
