Q: Is my employer required to pay moving fees to return equipment I let them?
I've resigned and want my employer to pay to have the equipment sent back to me. They have refuse to pay this. I received no rent or pay for lending this equipment and it was used to help the business. Do I have any recourse?
A:
Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the legal issue your facing.
As I understand it there is no agreement in place regarding the equipment. And you voluntarily provided it for use in the course of your employment and your employer's business. Under these circumstances, it's likely you will be unable to force your former employer to send the equipment t to you. In all likelihood, you will have to pay to have it shipped to you or have to go pick it up yourself.
Please let me know if there is something else with which I can help you.
Regards,
Neil Flynn
