Gambling
While employers may not want to, or may find it impossible to, completely eradicate gambling in the workplace, a clear, consistently applied policy defining what activities are prohibited and permitted can go a long way toward ensuring workplace gambling does not spin out of control. Gambling exists, in one form or another, in most workplaces. In addition to loss of productivity, gambling can lead to problems such as decreased productivity, fighting, financial difficulty, and even criminal activity among employees. While it is in management’s best interest to restrict gambling activities at work, the restrictions must be realistic, appropriate, enforceable, and consistent. Use this Gambling Policy Template to create a policy that fits the needs of your organization.
