Gifts to Subordinates or Lesser Paid Employees

• There are no ethical or monetary restrictions on gifts to subordinates or lesser paid employees.
• Use your best judgment in selecting a gift appropriate to the occasion, and treat all of your subordinate employees similarly with respect to gifts in order to avoid allegations of favoritism.

An appropriate effort to boost morale can lead to higher productivity.

And that’s smart business.
