Q: What are the laws on a 'workplace fund'. Is it illegal to use scare tactics to collect this fund.
Hello, regarding 'workplace funds'. (i.e a fund used for t-shirts, company days out ect.)
What are the laws on workplace funds, for example; a collection of money from 'all' employees for a pot or fund. For the benefit of the company.
Is there a law on how this must be audited/recorded. And must employees know where this funding is going?
If the collections is 'forced', in the manner of; telling employees if they dont pay that it will stop them being promoted. Or scare tactics i.e; discplinary action. Is this illegal, and how?
Finally; Must employees actually choose to subscribe to this fund, or can a list just be created of all employees that 'must' pay. Therefore, to stop paying you have to go through a long stressful process to not pay into it.
The funds collected are around £2.50 each month from approximately 200-300 personell.
