    Default Re: Layoff and Return of Property

    it sounds like they are only seeking the return of the one company computer. What are you intending on doing with the other, government owned computer?


    if you really want to push the issue, try to delay the return of the computer with believable stories of delay until after your paycheck is issued. If you can do that, you've won.

    If you don't retrurn them and they withhold money from your check, file a wage claim as they cannot deduct money from your paycheck without an authorization by you.

    You are correct, they are caring about their equipment not the gov. MY INTENTION IS TO RETURN BOTH. However, he will physically take both from me. I don't think that delay method will work. They have indicated an exact date of the 15th in the termination letter...... I'm sure they are just waiting for me to "not return it".

    Just to make sure it is clear: You do not have any legal grounds to refuse to return them, regardless of whether they do or do not agree in advance to give you a receipt. I hear you saying it is your intent to to return them - I'm not saying you're not. But your initial question was, does their refusal to agree to give you a signed receipt give you justification to refuse to return them, and the answer to that is, No. They will have no reason to deduct anything from your check if you return the property.

    If they do make any illegal deductions, you can file a claim for unpaid wages.
