At AGRO, we distinguish between work-related collections and private collections – and the secretary/coordinator is only involved in the work-related collections.
Work-related collections (work anniversaries, PhD defences, and retirements)
The MobilePay-box number must be given to the secretary/coordinator by the person, who is supposed to buy the gift (e.g. the PhD defence supervisor, or a designated colleague in case of a work anniversary).
Inform the secretary/coordinator about the target group of the collection, and the secretary drafts an email and sends the email to the colleagues in question.
The supervisor/colleague is in charge of collecting the money via own MobilePay box number, purchase the gift, and make the gift card.
Private collections (round birthdays, weddings, arrival of baby, etc.)
These collections are private. And as a rule, the secretary/coordinator is not involved in these collections.
