Bribery Laws

Question:

Could you please enlighten me re: the Bribary Laws – would giving the nurses/receptionists free treatment, bleaching, cosmetic dentistry etc be considered a bribe or a perk too far ?!

Answer:

When I spoke to the legal guys he told me that free treatment was just a perk and not a bribe. If the principal/owner wants to give his services there is no obligation to charge for his services – it is his choice.

However, if an associate or hygienist does this without the consent or knowledge of the owner it could be classed as theft.
