Business abuse is defined as an unethical or illegal act which causes loss or harm to our company, our employees, or our customers. Business abuse prevention is important to each of us as the continued success of our company depends on it.
Examples of business abuse include, but are not limited to:
- Abuse of time cards or meal period
- Drug or alcohol abuse
- Giving free food or discounts to friends
- Filing false work-related injury claims
- Theft of cash / property / food
- Creating or ignoring safety hazards
BurgerBusters Inc. will foster an environment that does not tolerate business abuse. Prevent, recognize, and report any business abuse situations to your General Manager immediately. If there is no response from your manager, or if you are not comfortable reporting the situation to your General Manager for any reason continue up the accountability ladder to District Manager, Vice President, or Joe Mangano.
By December 1, 2017, BurgerBusters had already had 367 investigations in our stores. Some of these investigations resulted in terminations, including for violations such as :
- Wokplace violence
- Cash theft
- Drugs / drinking alcohol
- Harassment
If you prefer to remain anonymous, The Complaint Line 1-888-788-9757, Ext. 140 provides a way for employees to communicate to top management. It is open for calls 24/7, 365 days a year. This service should only be used when an employee has not been able to resolve a problem within the chain of command or if the employee prefers not to give their name due to the nature of the issue.
