What is the ruling on a branch manager of a financing company receiving a commission from a car dealership with which his company deals, in exchange for him performing work that serves the company's interest outside the scope of his primary responsibilities, and is this considered private work for which he deserves a commission?
An agent is not permitted to take a commission from another dealership when purchasing cars for the company that appointed him, unless the company gives permission. If the agency agreement restricts purchases to specific dealerships, then he is not allowed to buy from others. If the company permits purchasing from the other dealership, he is still not allowed to take a commission unless the company explicitly authorizes it. Similarly, he is not allowed to transport the company's documents and funds himself if the company's system requires the dealership to be responsible for that, as this would violate the company's terms. However, if the company's system allows for this, he is still not permitted to take a commission unless the company gives permission.
