Work-Related Social Events Policy

EMP.POL.04

This Work-Related Social Events Policy reminds employees of what their employers expect of them and that their behaviour at social events may have serious consequences.

A work-related social event, like a Christmas party, is effectively an extension of the workplace and so an employer is likely to be held vicariously liable for the actions of their employees. An employer will have a defence to a claim of vicarious liability if they can show that they took such steps as were ‘reasonably practicable’ to prevent the employee doing the act. A Work-Related Social Events Policy could be of assistance to employers in this regard.

The Work-Related Social Events Policy covers:

• Alcohol use;
• Illegal drugs;
• Not drinking and driving;
• Not tolerating improper conduct and unacceptable behaviour; and
• Employees not bringing the Company’s name into disrepute.

This policy template is in open format. Either enter the requisite details in the highlighted fields or adjust the wording to suit your purposes.
