What is the protocol for an executive in a large organization when asked repeatedly to donate money for a co-worker's loss of a family member? |
[Edit] |
Answer
It's time to talk to the big boss. When giving to someone for the loss of a family member it's fine to give a nice fat cheque from the executives of the organization to help out the family, but it's not proper procedure in an organization to keep giving money. You can refuse not to when talking to your boss or tell him you'll give a sum of money and that's the end of it. I find this rather suspicious. You may be lucky enough to get something back on your personal taxes for monies already given.
Answer
It could be a problem if workers are asked to contribute several times for the loss of the same family member. If you are an executive, why not use your authority to appoint one person to do the collecting? One of the senior PA's, for instance?
Another option might be to set up a company fund to which people contribute a small amount regularly and voluntarily, perhaps directly from their pay packets. When there is a bereavement, the Human Resources people could ask the Accountants for a cheque to hand to the family on behalf of all the staff.
