Amgen's Flower Policy

A flower arrangement, plant or fruit basket can be ordered for the following:

  • A staff member’s in-patient hospitalization (excludes outpatient hospitalization)
  • A birth or adoption of a staff member’s new child
  • A staff member's death or the death of a staff member’s immediate family*

* For purposes of this Policy, “immediate family” means parents, siblings, spouse/domestic partner, children, grandparents, grandchildren, and corresponding in-laws of the staff member and is consistent with Amgen’s Absence from Work (Non Leave) Policy for Bereavement.

Please note: Only one flower arrangement, plant or fruit basket can be ordered for the same staff member in conjunction with one of the events listed above. If an order has already been placed for the staff member, you will be notified and the order will be cancelled.
