Monitoring
The Profit Protection Team will advise you by letter when you are at 80% of your allowance spend limit in any 6/12 month period. E.g. if within the first six months you reach £640 (ie 80% of £800) you will be notified by letter.
We monitor the use of Staff Discount both in store and online to detect any unusual purchase e.g. shoes or garments in a range of different sizes, large numbers of similar items. Purchases of leather/suede garments are also monitored on a quarterly basis. We also monitor eBay and other such sites to detect potential re-sale of items purchased with staff discount by employees/nominees.
Any use identified as potential abuse will be investigated. We expect you (and your nominees) to respect and abide by the Staff Discount rules. A breach of the terms and conditions (by you or your nominee) may lead to the Staff Discount Card being withdrawn as well as the instigation of an investigation and disciplinary proceedings against you as the employee. Any breach of the rules may constitute gross misconduct which can lead to dismissal.
