    Default Re: How Long Do I Need to Keep an Ex-Employee's Personal Property

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: New York

    An old employee left behind quite a bit of personal property including office equipment. Now all Walmart employees can use Walmartone portal. From what I understand this employee has been gone for almost two years. People have tried to contact her to get her to retrieve her items and I believe an offer was made to ship the items to her. She simply says to talk to her lawyer about this. As far as I know, no records of trying to contact her regarding her items have been kept. How long are we obligated to keep these items? Am I allowed to give her a deadline to retrieve her things? I am unsure of the law in NYC and NY State.

    Any advice is welcome!
    Having compassion and respect when terminating an employee helps to ensure a smooth separation from your company. The employee should not be surprised by the termination, and, ideally, documentation will be in the file supporting your decision. If necessary, include a higher level of management in your meeting to show the company's support of the action. Unless a threat to safety or security, allow an employee the time to collect all personal belongings, return company property and pick up the last paycheck before being escorted to the exit.
