Do you keep the change or return it to the office?

[Inem]

Most people don't return as they feel like they have earned this money and this is not a good thing as they can get caught stealing office money

How is that stealing? Let's define stealing. It is taking something that is not your own. In this case, that money is your own because you earned it through your negotiation power.

As an employee of a company, it's important to obtain a receipt when purchasing anything on the company's behalf. If you negotiate an additional discount and wish to keep it as your personal incentive, you may ask the store owner to increase the bill amount, which they may refuse to do. If another employee is later tasked with buying the same product, they may be informed by the store owner of the earlier transaction or notice a lower charge on their receipt, potentially causing issues with transparency and trust within the company

I won't have to hide it. Of course, the receipt would be written in the actual amount the product was bought. The organization would know there is a balance that I have taken for myself.

NO organization will allow you to keep that money and its your moral responsibility to return the excess even though you feel it was you who got that discount with your skills

There are many people who do not ask for change. For example, many people who visit restaurants may never ask for a change from a waiter.

 

[Salt]

They should return it or need to get the bill prepared at a higher rate to save themselves from getting caught

I think that they should return it. Even in many restaurants, many waiters are supposed to "submit" off their tips to management. That tip then gets divided at the end of the day.

 

[Salt]

I think mostly waiters are able to get their tips or they share with other waiters if they have some sort of prior arrangement

 

[Kubiatabasi]

I think it is just right to return the money since it wasn't your own. If the boss likes he or she can tell you to keep it.

 

[Salt]

Many times boss will let you keep the money as they know its you who earned it

 

[Kubiatabasi]

Keeping the money is not a crime at all. I believe you can just inform your boss about the change, everyone knows that its yours after the errand but you still need to inform your boss, he decides if you should keep it or not. For all I care, you stand a greater chance of gaining your boss's trust. Go ahead and inform him, don't wait till he finds out.

 

[Salt]

I have seen bosses let their able employees enjoy that saving as they were the ones who were able to save the money

The best thing to do morally is to return the money that is left together with the receipt that was used to purchase such goods. It is going to raise your profile in the organization and it might attract promotion for you...

Whether you should return the change to the office or keep it yourself depends on a lot of factors. If you have to run an errand and you are given $10 to maintain your expenses and if you managed to save some money, I think you can keep yourself. I do not see any problem in this.

We are told to keep anything under $5. This is by the boss and owner of the company. If the change is over $5 then he wants it back.

$5 is a low amount of money, especially if you work in a really expensive restaurant. There are many expensive restaurants and the workers in there are expected to get paid much. They are also expected to receive high tips when they return the change and when the customer allows them to keep the sum of money.

Suppose you are sent by your workplace to get some office requirements and the funds were disbursed according to budget. And you were able to negotiate and get a discount. Would you return the balance to the office or keep it as your own?

There is no way my office is going to send you for a purchase of certain items that are needed in the office that you're not going to return whatever amount that is left after buying what is needed. This is because you're going to tender in the receipts of everything that you purchased and that way they will know that there are money that is still left in your care which you need to return to the account department.

I think that this depends on the kind of business. For example, if a business allows a salesman to keep commissions, then they may have no problem if the customer offers change or "tip" them for their service. If you are a salesman, then you may keep the change if the business allows you to do so.

Commission, tips and change are not the same thing when it comes to the money that is received in any kind of business. Commission is something that is given to any worker for selling any products, tips is something that is given to workers by the customers who purchased something from the company while change is balance you are to return after you must have been sent by the company to purchase any particular product.

Yes, I know commissions and tips are quite different things and there was a point mentioning both of these things. Some people may earn commissions and they may also earn "tips" as well. This way, they tend to earn much money by receiving tips and commissions as well.
