The Legal Risk Score of a Gift Policy Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The policy strictly prohibits the acceptance of gifts from clients, contractors, or any related parties, which could limit relationship-building opportunities that might otherwise be facilitated by such exchanges.
- The exceptions to the policy, while accommodating moderate business courtesies, may still be perceived as restrictive, potentially impacting the natural flow of professional gratitude and recognition.
- The requirement for all received gifts that cannot be returned to be raffled off or donated might not align with the personal values or interests of all employees, potentially leading to dissatisfaction or disengagement.
