Business Halacha Daily

May One Give a Corporate Gift To an Akum?

When it comes to this time of year, many companies give out corporate gifts to all of their employees. Is there a problem with giving a gift to an Akum in this setting? The Gemara says (Avoda Zarah 20), that it is assur d’oraysa to give an Akum a matnas chinam (free gift). The way we come out Halacha L’maysseh is that this applies to all Bnei Noach , not just ba’alei avodah zorah . Question : There does seem to be a widespread custom to give these gifts to all employees including an akum. How do we reconcile this practice?
