Anti-Bribery Policy

Anti-Bribery & Corruption Policy

Last updated: August 2026

1. About This Policy

SiteJobs is an online platform that connects construction workers directly with employers. We are not an employer, labour provider, or recruitment agency.

We are committed to conducting all our business activities with honesty, integrity, and transparency. We operate a zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption in all forms. This policy also sets out the standards we require from all employers who use our platform.

This policy is published in accordance with the Bribery Act 2010.

2. Our Role and Responsibilities

As a platform operator, SiteJobs' anti-bribery responsibilities cover our own business operations:

• We do not offer, give, or accept bribes in connection with any aspect of our business
• We do not make facilitation payments of any kind
• We conduct due diligence on employers before allowing them on our platform
• We remove any employer found to be engaged in bribery or corruption
• We report suspected bribery to the relevant authorities

SiteJobs does not:

• Control or influence the commercial relationships between workers and employers
• Manage or supervise employer business practices, procurement, or financial operations
• Act as an intermediary in any financial transaction between workers and employers

3. What Employers Must Do

All employers who use SiteJobs are solely responsible for their own compliance with the Bribery Act 2010, including:

• Implementing their own anti-bribery policies and procedures
• Ensuring no bribes, kickbacks, or improper payments are made in connection with any aspect of their business
• Not offering or accepting excessive gifts or hospitality that could influence business decisions
• Not making facilitation payments, whether in the UK or internationally
• Conducting due diligence on their own suppliers and business partners
• Having clear procedures for reporting and investigating suspected bribery within their organisation

4. What Is Bribery?

Under the Bribery Act 2010, a bribe is defined as giving someone a financial or other advantage to induce or reward improper performance of a function or activity. The four offences under the Act are:

• Active bribery: Offering, promising, or giving a bribe to another person
• Passive bribery: Requesting, agreeing to receive, or accepting a bribe
• Bribing a foreign public official: Offering or giving an advantage to a foreign official to influence them in their official capacity
• Failure of commercial organisations to prevent bribery: A commercial organisation failing to prevent bribery by persons associated with it (Section 7)

5. SiteJobs Internal Rules

For SiteJobs' own operations, the following are strictly prohibited:

• Offering, giving, or accepting bribes or kickbacks, whether in cash or in kind
• Making facilitation payments of any amount
• Offering or accepting gifts or hospitality that could influence business decisions regarding platform listings or employer accounts
• Allowing any third party to use SiteJobs' platform to facilitate bribery or corruption

6. Employer Due Diligence

Before employers are permitted to list jobs on SiteJobs, we conduct reasonable checks including:

• Verifying the employer's company registration and business legitimacy
• Checking for any known associations with bribery or corruption offences
• Requiring employers to confirm their compliance with the Bribery Act 2010
• Monitoring employer activity on the platform for indicators of concern

7. Reporting Concerns

If you suspect bribery or corruption in connection with any employer or job listing on SiteJobs, report it immediately:

• By email: [email protected]
• To Action Fraud: 0300 123 2040 or actionfraud.police.uk
• To the Police: 999 in an emergency or 101 for non-emergencies

SiteJobs will treat all reports in confidence and will not tolerate retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.

8. Consequences for Employers

Any employer found to be involved in bribery or corruption will be:

• Removed from the SiteJobs platform immediately and permanently
• Reported to the relevant authorities, including the police and Action Fraud
• Subject to termination of their account with no right to re-list

9. Limitation of Liability

SiteJobs is a platform provider, not an employer. We do not accept liability for the business practices, financial operations, or compliance failures of employers who use our platform. The responsibility for compliance with the Bribery Act 2010 rests solely with each employer.

10. Review

This policy is reviewed annually and updated as necessary to ensure it remains effective and reflects current legislation and best practice.
