Addendum:


U-TIP is a service created not only to increase your profitability and increase workplace safety. Utilizing U-TIP or another telephone tip line will also assist your company in complying with the Corporate Sentencing Guidelines. It is their recommendation that an organization utilize a reporting that allows their employees to anonymously report the illegal activities of a coworker, but also to assist you company in complying with the Corporate Sentencing Guidelines. These guidelines specifically recommend a reporting service that allows employees to anonymously report the illegal activities of a co-worker.

It is important to remember that your employees may not feel comfortable using a "in house tip line system"; therefore using an independent third party organization, such as UTIP, may increase the number of calls your organization receives. It would also demonstrate that your organization has made an effort to reduce crime from within.

The Crime Control Act of 1984 established the U.S. Sentencing Commission that resulted in the Corporate Sentencing Guidelines. Under these guidelines, companies may be held responsible for their employee's actions. If an employee commits any type of criminal act, the company may be fined, regardless of whether the management had knowledge of, or profited from the employee's actions.

The Corporate Sentencing Guidlines rewards those companies that have made an effort to prevent internal criminal activity. Utilizing the services of U-TIP may not only increase your profitability, but also may greatly reduce fines and/or a jail sentence in the event your company is prosecuted. For more information on the Corporate Sentencing Guidelines and how an effective compliance program may be of benefit to your organization, visit the United States Sentencing Commission's web site at http://www.ussc.gov/ (SENTENCING OF ORGANIZATIONS--Chapter 8)

company policies and of the law. However, some employees are reluctant to report these occurrences because of
