RIGHT TO SEARCH
To protect the business and maintain
a high level of vigilance we reserve the right to inspect
employee’s clothing, personal belongings, vehicles,
lockers or workstation at any time.
You may be asked to make yourself
and your personal effects available for inspection on
request. In doing so, we will ensure that we maintain
our value of respect for people. Consent to such a search
will always be sought. However, failure to agree to such
a request may lead to formal disciplinary action being
taken.
A request will only be made by a
member of the management team. Anyone asked to undergo
a search may, on request have a fellow employee present
and ask for the search to be carried out in private. Personal
effects searches will only be carried out by members of
the same sex.
If we have reasonable grounds
to believe a criminal activity has taken place we may
contact the police to assist in the search.
