Employers generally cannot withhold or deduct the value of unreturned company property, such as laptops or other equipment, from an employee\u2019s paycheck unless state law specifically permits it and the employee has provided written authorization (not just an employee handbook acknowledgment). For example, in the state of Illinois, an employer cannot withhold any part of an employee\u2019s final paycheck while waiting for the return of the equipment unless the employee provides express written consent at the time the deduction is made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce risk, employers should implement clear written policies, obtain signed acknowledgments authorizing deductions where allowed, and make returning equipment as easy as possible through prepaid shipping or pickup arrangements. Incentives, reminders, and documented communication can also improve the likelihood of the property being returned. If equipment is not returned, employers may ultimately need to pursue civil or criminal remedies, such as reporting the items as stolen through the local police department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:hr@employco.com\" type=\"mailto\" id=\"mailto:hr@employco.com\">Contact us<\/a> with any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/gwilson-employco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">15-minute call<\/a> with <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#046240\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Griffen Wilson<\/mark><\/strong> for more information on our services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Can I deduct the value of a company-provided laptop from our terminated employee\u2019s final paycheck if he doesn\u2019t return it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hr-newsletter"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Employco USA","author_link":"https:\/\/www.employco.com\/blog\/author\/employcousa\/"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
