Should I Pay A Deposit For Christmas Party?

[abbeylee90]

So selco have put a notice up today about thier Christmas party which is £5 deposit  you get back on the day. In my situation now I don't know if I should pay.

[DDIL]

In the great scheme of things you have spent (wasted) more money than that so why not.

When does it have to be paid?

[elliemay1]

Do you intend going if you are still there?

[naomi24]

Can you not still go if you leave?  

[abbeylee90]

DIDL Yes but not a deposit.

Probably not the meal which deposit is for but out later yes 

[naomi24]

If they refund the money on the day perhaps they'll refund you if you leave.

[abbeylee90]

I was told they won't give it back.

[DDIL]

Its a fiver

[abbeylee90]

My employer has in the past requested a small deposit (fee) for those attending a Christmas function, otherwise paid for by the company.

 

The purpose of the deposit is to discourage employees stating that they will attend - but not turn up, with the company paying maybe as much as £100 per employee in advance to the venue.

But what are you going to wear?

[Hymie]

Oh no – now there will be loads of posts as to the suitability of an outfit for a works Christmas do.
