Employee Purchase Procedure

Employee Discount Guidelines

📌 Discount Availability:

• Westside Market does not offer a standard employee discount, as products are owned by individual members.
• Employees may use any customer discounts provided by members when making purchases.
• Some members may offer exclusive employee discounts, which must follow documentation policies.

General Purchasing Rules

✅ Standard Sales Policy:

• All employee purchases must follow standard sales policies—all sales are final, with no returns or exchanges.
• Employees are responsible for understanding and adhering to the sales policy when making purchases.

📌 Discount Allowances:

• Discounts applied to employee purchases must align with the allowances listed in BM BERRY for each vendor.
• If a vendor offers a higher-than-normal employee discount, a manager must review and approve the transaction to ensure proper documentation (written confirmation via email with vendor) and compliance.

Purchase Processing & Handling

🚨 Transaction Guidelines:

• Employees cannot ring up or bag their own purchases.
• A manager must process all employee purchases to maintain fairness and transparency.
• Failure to follow this policy may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.

📌 Holding Purchased Items:

• After completing a purchase, employees must store their items behind the service counter until the end of their shift.
• Employees should inform a cashier or manager about their purchase and request it be held securely.
• This practice helps prevent misunderstandings or potential loss of items.

By following these guidelines, employees help ensure fairness, consistency, and adherence to company policies. If any questions arise, employees should consult their supervisor or manager for clarification.
