Reimbursement of Assets to Company
8 months ago
My Company has relieved me with immediate effect and my one day salary will be counted in F&F.Which I'm aware and ok with. In the meanwhile when I asked for a confirmation on reimbursement for shipping the laptop back to the office they're not willing to pay any reimbursement for the same. I'm willing to send the assets I hold but I'm not willing to incur the expense on my own. Even in my appointment letter it is nowhere mentioned that I'm working from home and no reimbursement would be made. Kindly help on this part.
A.Dear Client,
I would like to inform you that the terms and conditions regarding reimbursement for shipping the laptop back to the office would depend on the specific provisions stated in your employment contract and relevant company policies. It is important to review your appointment letter, company policies, and any other relevant documents to determine if there are any provisions regarding reimbursement for such expenses.
If your appointment letter or any other relevant document does not mention any policy or provision regarding working from home or reimbursement for shipping the laptop back to the office, you may consult the Payment of Wages Act, 1936. This Act governs the payment of wages to employees and provides protection for the rights of employees. Section 4 of the Act states that deductions from wages can only be made for specific purposes and with the written authorization of the employee.
In this case, if the company is unwilling to reimburse you for shipping the laptop back to the office, you may communicate your concerns with the company's HR department or management. It would be advisable to provide them with the details of your employment contract and request clarification on the reimbursement policy in writing.
If the company fails to respond or refuses to reimburse you for the shipping expenses, you may consider seeking legal advice and exploring legal options such as filing a complaint under the Payment of Wages Act or seeking remedies through civil litigation in the appropriate jurisdiction.
Thank you.

A.Dear Client,
On cessation of employment, an employee is not supposed to keep the asset that belongs to the Company where you employed last. In the absence of any specific or express terms in your contract employed, it is considered an implied condition. Since the asset belongs to the Company you cannot keep the same with you outrightly for non-reimbursement of shipping charges by the Company, so it is now obligatory on your part to return the asset to its original owner treating the same as an implied condition of your contract of employment.
