This thread reminds me of the way paranoid doctors like to say you're risking a lawsuit by prescribing an antibiotic to a neighbor. I guess it's possible but seems like it takes a pretty good imagination to come up with that turn of events.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View PostComment

Question for Attorneys
Random question. I work for a quasi-government agency. As an organization, we own several hundred acres of land outside of Vegas that we manage.
To oversee the property, we employee a full time care taker that lives on the property in a house owned by the agency. Monday night, we had some storms blow through town, one included a bolt of lightening that struck the house and burnt it to the ground. Our care taker happened to be out of town with his wife and three young boys. But everything inside is gone.
In the aftermath, we are trying to rally around and come up with ways to help this guy and his family with immediate needs sort of stuff while the insurance process runs its course. The weird thing about it, is that the organization has been really vocal that any efforts to help him are conducted outside of company resources. HR originally told us they would create a gofundme page, but ended up reneging and so we had someone in our group put it up themselves. We were cautioned against using the company email to send out the link to the many employees (the company includes about 1,200) who have asked how they could help. HR did send out a company wide email briefly explaining what had happened and encouraged people to contact them if they wanted to help but that was it. We keep hearing phrases like "legal would prefer that we go a different route" or "we really need to hear back from legal before moving forward with this." Granted, we get sued a lot, but this event seems so benign that it's been really frustrating and maddening that the company seems to be going out of their way to discourage helping this poor family who lost everything they own essentially under the company's watch.
Is there legal jeopardy for companies to be connected to a fund raising project for an employee? Because without any explanation otherwise, this has been so stupid.

It's possible the company doesn't want to look like its involved (or actually be involved) as anything donated to him could be seen as compensation and require the company to report it as such and also pay/withhold taxes on the gifts/donations.
It's also possible he was a terrible employee and they hope he feels slighted and finds somewhere else to work

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.
