Your Rights of Appeal
You may appeal against the positive result of an alcohol or drug test at any time within 14 days of
the initial test date.
You may only appeal against a positive result on the grounds either that:
• you believe the test result to be incorrect, in which case you will be responsible for
all costs for testing the B sample, or
• you can demonstrate that you were not aware at the time of the test that you had
consumed alcohol or drugs

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 Senior Manager.

3.24 NOTICES/POSTERS
Notices or posters may not be displayed on or within Company premises without the prior permission
of a Senior Manager. 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 Senior Manager. 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 Senior Manager.
All money outstanding must be paid either within 30 days of receiving the materials or, by special
prior agreement with a Senior Manager 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 Senior Manager, 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.
