Practice question
A separated employee still holds an identified company laptop issued for work and refuses to return it. Is requiring its return through a legitimate clearance procedure inherently unlawful?
- Yes, every clearance procedure is void
- Yes, employer ownership ends upon resignation
- Yes, work equipment becomes a separation benefit
- No; requiring return of employer property is a recognized legitimate clearance purpose, subject to applicable legal limits
- No; the employer may therefore confiscate all personal possessions
