Damage to Devices

If you damage a company-owned device, you should inform your supervisor or the appropriate person in your company as soon as possible. Depending on the nature and extent of the damage, the company may require that you pay for repairs or replacement costs. It's important to be honest and upfront about the damage, as attempting to conceal it could result in disciplinary action.

If the damage was accidental and not due to negligence or misuse on your part, you may be able to have the repairs or replacement costs covered by the company. If the damage was caused by negligence or misuse, the company may require that you pay for the repairs or replacement.
