Extortionate Payments Sample Clauses

Extortionate Payments. Extortion occurs when the person demanding the payment instils in the payer the fear that, absent payment, the payer will suffer physical, economic or other harm. Extortion includes demands for payment accompanied by an unlawful threat to an employee’s personal safety or freedom of movement. It also may include the threat to refuse to perform, or delay purposefully the performance of, routine duties that would cause a Group Company to suffer economic hardship or loss. All demands for extortionate payments must be reported to the Chief Compliance officer or his or her designees. Absent unusual circumstances, such as where the personal safety or freedom of movement of an employee or family member is at risk if such a payment is not made, a Group Company will not make extortionate payments. If possible, one of the company’s Compliance Personnel should be contacted, and pre-clearance should be obtained from one of such personnel, prior to making any extortionate payment. Emergency situations may dictate that such payments cannot be pre-cleared, e.g., if an improper payment is demanded to secure the release of an employee’s personal baggage at an airport. As outlined in section 4.2.3, the expense must thereafter be submitted for approval, and the reason why pre-clearance was not obtained must be clearly documented.
