6. Be aware of both compliments and criticism of the Company. Even if you are not an official spokesperson
for the Company, you can be a vital asset in monitoring the social media landscape. If you come across
positive or negative remarks about the Company online that you believe are important, consider sharing

3.19.2 Protecting Employees from online abuse
Given the nature of and the high levels of participation in social media sites and on-line forums in Ireland, MY
CLINIC employees may from time to time become the victim of abuse or defamation by members of the public
through comments made and published on the internet or on social networks.
Where this occurs, Company management will work to support its employees in every way possible.

Where staff are notified of or are concerned about an abusive or defamatory post, profile, comment or page
relating to a Company employee or service, this should be reported immediately to a MANAGER. A MANAGER
should arrange for the post to be reviewed, and where possible or appropriate, the post should be reported as
abuse with the relevant site’s existing reporting process. A screenshot should be recorded of the comment.
3.19.3 Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed and updated annually or more frequently if necessary to ensure that any changes to
the Company structure and business practices are properly reflected in the policy.
3.20 DRIVING LICENCE, INSURANCE & PENALTY POINTS SYSTEM

3.20.1 Driving License
If the Company requires an employee to drive a Company vehicle, under any circumstances, they must hold an
appropriate current valid driving licence. For insurance purposes all employees who drive a Company vehicle
will be requested to furnish a copy of their current driving licence on an annual basis.

The employees referred to above must notify the Company immediately if they should cease to hold a valid
driving licence whether by disqualifications or by revocation on medical grounds. Loss of driving licence may
result in employment being terminated. Any endorsement must be notified to a MANAGER immediately.
Employees using their own vehicle for Company business (not including travel to another company location)
must provide the Company with evidence of adequate insurance cover for business use.

3.20.2 Penalty Points System Policy - The L aw
Under the system a driver accumulating 12 penalty points within a 3-year period will automatically lose their
driving licence for 6 months. The number of penalty points imposed at any one time will depend on the severity
of the offence.
This policy applies to all Company employees who drive a Company vehicle or for whom driving is an essential
requirement of the job.

3.20.3 Cost
The Company will not under any circumstances cover the cost of road traffic offences committed by the
employee as a result of reckless driving, speeding and generally unsafe driving including fines received under
the Penalty Point System. These costs will be borne by the employee concerned regardless of whether the
vehicle was being used for private or business use at the time the offences occurred.

3.20.4 Disciplinary Action
An employee of the Company who has been disqualified from driving for any reason may be subject to
disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal. In addition, any breach of this policy may result in disciplinary
action, up to and including dismissal.

The Company reserves the right to reconsider the allocation of Company vehicles where a breach of this policy
occurs or where employees who are disqualified from driving for any reason and/or there is a significant increase
in Insurance Premiums. The Company reserves the right to insist on the immediate return of a Company vehicle
if such an offence occurs.
