Author Message rib Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:07 pm    Post subject: Giving a gift to an emplyee for his wedding? I have an employee that is getting married but I have only supervised him for a few months. I completley understand not being invited to the wedding, however is it expected of me to give him a wedding gift? We are taking a collection from the office but am unsure if I am responsible for more being his manager.

My office did that for me when I got married recently, and I thought it was incredibly thoughtful.

If you weren't invited to the wedding, I doubt they're expecting anything from you in the gift area. Of course, if you want to give them something else, I'm sure they'd love it, but don't feel you HAVE to.

I would think participating in the office pool would be enough.

A wedding is one of them.As his manager/supervisor you should put in a little extra if you can afford it to insure that a nice gift is chosen. Back to top no_frills Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:19 pm    Post subject: There may be a policy at work where you can not give a gift over a certain amount. Since you are a supervisor, it would be appropriate to give more than average, probably would have been better if you did the collecting so your gift would be anonymous to other employees. Back to top lalaluu Yahoo User Posted: Fri Jun 08, 2007 12:21 pm    Post subject: Most people who get married are registered somewhere. The office workers are most likely to get a gift certificate to that store. If you'd like to contribute to that, you should do so. Managers are expected to make more, so are probably also expected to contribute more. But don't go overboard as most office workers won't contribute more than $20 each. However, it is usually the friends of the employee who give gifts for special occasions, unless you are in a small, tightly knit office. Otherwise, a sincere congratulations and good wishes may be enough!

If you can...maybe get him a few extra paid days off to recover from the honeymoon or to use before the wedding to relax and get things settled.

Maybe decorate his desk a bit to wish him well.
