Not too long ago, giving gifts, especially around holiday time, was entirely commonplace, whether it was to staff, colleagues, vendors or to business partners. These days, in light of many new rules, laws, regulations and compliance requirements, doing so without guidance is simply not prudent, and could do harm to your job security, career and reputation. This Model Letter is a Request to HR, Legal and Compliance for that guidance, and presents to each the details of the intended gift, the intended recipient and all other facts that they may need know to give you the necessary guidance. Like all of our Model Memos and Letters, this one shows you “What to Say, and How To Say It.”™
