Welcome

The Office Christmas Party

Christmas and the Tax Man

Winter Sickness

Bad Weather

Suppliers and the Bribery Act

Questions and Answers



The Office Christmas Party

All good fun???

Employers duty of care

Party Policies

Harassment

Drugs & Alcohol

Religious Discrimination

Making Promises

Getting Home

Post-Party Absenteeism



Christmas and the Tax Man – Bah

Humbug or Not?

The Christmas Party can be allowable for PAYE

purposes

It has to be available for all employees / partners

It must not exceed £150 per head else the whole

amount is taxable

Also applies to members of family and household as

guests!

VAT is recoverable on staff entertaining but not the

family element unless a ’charge’ is made

A modest gift is allowable – the Revenue give the

example of a turkey or ‘ordinary’ wine (so not Bollinger

then!)



Winter Sickness

Do we see increased absence levels in the winter

months?

Genuine sickness absence

Duvet days and other ‘sickie’s’

Have a good policy and implement fairly & consistently

Support & consequences

Record & monitor

Measures to reduce:

Immunisations?

Flexible working?

Nigel asked me to remind you that the cost of a flu jab

for your employees is not seen as a benefit by HMRC



Bad Weather

What do we do when employees are late or do not

attend due to adverse weather?

Holiday?

Unpaid leave?

‘Sickness’ absence?

Work from home?

Flexible hours?

Look at your culture

Would it be fair to discipline?

What are you looking to achieve?

Domestic leaves



The Bribery Act 2010

This is a risk to organisations where particularly

customer supplier relationships exist

Definition is if someone ‘offers, promises or gives a

financial or other advantage to another person’

Being bribed – think about people who deal with

suppliers

Bribing a foreign public official

Failure of a commercial organisation to prevent bribery

Defence is based on ‘six principles’

Let’s run through the penalties

And finally some ideas to prevent it from happening



Following the successes of our in-house

programmes, The Business Springboard is currently

running a serious of Masterclass training courses,

designed to give a focused, bite sized training

session to develop managers in key areas (funding

may be available for smaller employers):

Small groups to allow individual mentoring and action

planning

Half day courses

Making real changes by enhancing management skill sets

Topics include Managing Performance, Giving Feedback,

Interview Sills and Attendance Management
