Facilitation Payments Clause Samples
The Facilitation Payments clause defines the rules regarding small payments made to government officials to expedite routine administrative actions. Typically, this clause either prohibits or strictly limits such payments, clarifying that they are not permitted except in narrowly defined circumstances, such as when necessary to protect health or safety. Its core function is to ensure compliance with anti-bribery laws and to prevent the risk of corruption or legal liability arising from improper payments.

Facilitation Payments. 5.1 A facilitation payment is defined as a small payment made to officials in order to ensure or speed up the performance of routine or necessary functions.
5.2 Facilitation payments constitute bribes and, subject to section 5.3, may not be made at any time irrespective of prevailing business customs in certain territories.
5.3 Facilitation or similar payments may be made in limited circumstances where your life is in danger but under no other circumstances. Any payment so made must be reported to the Managing Director as soon as is reasonably possible and practicable.
Facilitation Payments. 6.1 CybSafe does not make, and will not accept, facilitation payments or ‘kickbacks’ of any kind. Facilitation payments are typically small, unoffcial payments made to secure or expedite a routine action by a regulator or other government offcial. They are not commonly paid in the UK, but can be common in some other jurisdictions. For example, the Middle East is an area with its own laws, cultures, and business customs. In turn, these laws, as expected of developing legal jurisdictions, are typically prescriptive in nature but lack the precision in wording desired by UK corporate compliance and legal departments. No distinction is ever made between bribery and facilitation or “grease” payments.
6.2 If you are asked to make a payment on CybSafe’s behalf, you should always be mindful of what the payment is for and whether the amount requested is proportionate to the goods or services provided. You should always ask for a receipt which details the reason for the payment. If you have any suspicions, concerns or queries regarding a payment, you should raise these with your manager or the Bribery and Corruption Representative.
6.3 Kickbacks or “grease payments “are typically payments made in return for a business favour or advantage. All employees and associates must avoid any activity that might lead to, or suggest, that a facilitation payment or kickback will be made or accepted by us.
