Unfair staff discount policy

[Kat1990]

Hello, I'm just wanting to know where my employers stand on this subject.
I work in a clothing store and we have privileges such as a discount of clothes,
our employer has unofficially notified us of a change in our staff discount procedures over Facebook.

Our manager said to us that whatever we buy in store or online we have to hand in our original receipts for their records and they will provide us with a copy. This includes online purchases not bought in store.

Our manager has also said to us that we can only purchase items outside of certain times for our store only whether we are working or not.

can they legally hold our original documents (receipts)? And can they legally notify us of changes in our employment such as staff discount without providing us with written warning seeing as it would be a considerable change?

you need to check if this is national or just a local idea thought up by a manager to young to shave without realising the implications of his actions

If its unofficial policy then they need to put that in writing or notify you of a change of policy officially. Unless it's official then they can go take a hike
