My employer issued new “guidelines' to all staff today that had a variety of rules that all staff must follow; one of which was:
“staff are expected to contribute a minimum of $400 to a specific charitable fund (associated with the business) annually”
Am I obligated to do this? I feel that it should be my decision where/if I choose to make donations. I know many people set a budget for charitable contributions annually, and now I feel forced to support an initiative that isn't as important to me as something else.
