As the holiday season approaches, we understand that the spirit of giving is in the air, and we truly appreciate the kindness and generosity shared during this time. In the spirit of ethnical compliance, it’s important to remember Vincentian’s Policy for Gifts and Gratuities.
Employees are never permitted to accept any cash or tip of any amount from a resident, resident family member, vendor, supplier, or anyone that Vincentian conducts business with. You may accept one non-cash gift valued at $50 or less. Many people care for our residents and children, including staff behind the scenes like culinary staff, activities, and housekeeping. Caring for people is a team activity. When a family or vendor sends in a cookie tray, doughnuts, or other food to your unit, please enjoy the gift with the entire team.
If you are offered a gift that exceeds this amount, please graciously thank the giver and explain our company policy. This ensures that we maintain fairness, professionalism, and transparency in all our interactions.
We encourage everyone to celebrate the season with gratitude and respect for these guidelines. Should you have any questions or encounter a situation you’re unsure about, feel free to reach out to your supervisor or Katie Talerico, Compliance Officer at 412.926.6146.
We wish you and your loved ones a blessed holiday season filled with peace, joy, and gratitude.
