3.22 ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
Alcohol, except that used for Company-organised social events, is not allowed on Company premises.
Employees believed to be under the influence of alcohol whilst on Company premises will be subject
to disciplinary action.

Drugs (apart from those prescribed by a Medical Practitioner) are not allowed on Company premises
or at Company functions. If there is a reasonable belief that an employee is in possession of, or under
the influence of illegal drugs, he or she will be liable to suspension and/or dismissal. An Garda Siochana
will also be notified.

3.23 COLLECTIONS
If you wish to take up a collection, sell raffle tickets etc. within the Company, for whatever purpose,
you must first obtain the approval of a Company Director.

3.24 NOTICES/POSTERS
Notices or posters may not be displayed on or within Company premises without the prior permission
of a Company Director. Similarly, documents or notices, which are not directly relevant to work, may
not be circulated without prior permission.
3.25 EXPENSES
If you incur any expenditure on behalf of the Company, you will be reimbursed, provided that the
expenditure has been wholly, exclusively and reasonably incurred on Company business and has been
approved by a Company Director. Any claims for reimbursements of business expenses should be
made as soon as possible, such claims must be accompanied by VAT receipts. Original receipts should
be attached to the claim (i.e. credit card receipts are not acceptable). VAT receipts are expected for
all expenditure.

3.25.1 Purchasing materials from the Company
Employees seeking to purchase materials or equipment from or through the Company must do so
only with the expressed permission of a Company Director.
All money outstanding must be paid either within 30 days of receiving the materials or, by special
prior agreement with a Company Director only, be deducted in stages from your wages.

The company reserves the right to refuse to an employee request to purchase materials based on
the overall value of the order and the potential liability to the Company.

3.26 LEAVING THE COMPANY
3.26.1 Notice Periods
Notice must be given in writing to a Company Director, and contractual notice periods must be
observed. For the majority of employees, this will be one week if you are still in probation and the
minimum statutory notice periods apply once you have passed your probation.

3.26.2 Leaving Date
Your letter must state your last date of employment and, if different, your last actual working day. The
Company reserves the right not to allow holiday to be offset against the notice period.
