Purpose

We want all employees to be Brand Ambassadors and therefore we provide an allocation for each employee to purchase a range of products from the Moёt Hennessy brand portfolio.

 

At the start of each tax year, all permanent and fixed term employees will be given 320 points or a prorated amount when you commence employment part way through the year, which will enable you to obtain products from the Company shop.

 

Points can be used to receive 1 bottle of product from the appropriate price range (no change will be given

 

You should be aware that this allocation is treated as a payroll benefit in kind. The tax calculation is updated annually at the beginning of the new tax year. You have the opportunity to opt in or opt out of the scheme prior to the next tax year beginning. Communication will be sent out prior to the new tax year from the HR team.

 

When you leave the Company, you should redeem the balance of your points at the staff shop and the remaining tax to be paid will be deducted from your final pay.

 

In addition to the points system, employees are able to purchase goods in the Company shop at discounted prices.

 

How to Purchase Products

Employees can purchase products on the online staff shop, located on our intranet The Daily Mash.

 

The shop will be open every day. There is no limit on the number of times you can place an order per month, however there is a maximum order of 26 bottles per month.

Goods Obtained Through the Company Shop

The Company shop(s) (including, where relevant, Distillery Visitor Centres) is provided as a benefit to employees, their family, and close friends. It is acceptable for employees to purchase goods at discounted prices on behalf of their family and close friends and to pass on the benefit of reduced prices to them.

 

It is not acceptable for employees to purchase goods in the Company shop and to subsequently resell these goods for commercial gain. In particular, any of the following will be viewed as a serious offence and subject to disciplinary:

·        Selling of goods to a commercial outlet where you could reasonably expect that the goods supplied will be resold for profit, i.e., local hotelier/publican/retailer/market stall and/or where the recipient could purchase goods through our normal distribution channel.

 

·        Selling of goods on the Internet

 ·        Systematic buying and selling of goods for personal gain

 

End of Line/High Value Products

There will be occasions where the Company gives employees the opportunity to purchase products, which are classed as ‘specials’ and/or ‘end of line’. In some instances, these products may increase in value over time as their rarity increases. The Company accepts that employees may want to purchase these products as an investment with the intention of reselling at a later date for some commercial gain.

 

In such instances where the product being sold by the employee is no longer available to purchase from The Glenmorangie Company or its subsidiaries, it is acceptable for the employee to resell the product subject to the conditions outlined above.

 

If an employee wants to sell a bottle but is unsure about the distribution of the particular product, they should check with the Human Resources Department in the first instance.
