personnel purchasing scheme or arrangement
Explanation:
Not really familiar with this kind of stuff, but I get the impression the term may refer to some kind of arrangement for company personnel to participate in discounted purchasing, probably of goods manufactured by the company itself.

agree  Siobhan Schoonhoff-Reilly: Employee purchase scheme appears to be more widely used.

  -> Thanks, Siobhan. It may be a bit context-dependent, but I think I'd opt for 'scheme' (too).

agree  Lawyer-Linguist: Staff purchasing scheme is what I'd opt for in an employment contract/Hi, staff is a collective noun for all the people employed within an organisation, so covers both white and blue-collared workers, is also the term most widely used in this context.
18 hrs
  -> Hi D., I was thinking of that myself but 'staff' to my mind could suggest that the scheme is restricted to 'white-collared' personnel.

agree  Kitty Brussaard: With 'employee purchase scheme'
