Rach (They/Them) :
My husband was let go a few weeks ago from a toxic place and they demanded he drive to their nearest location to turn in his laptop and phone. I told him absolutely not. They could pay him at least $30/hr (minimum 2 hours) plus mileage and mileage had to be at least the minimum recommended IRS amount, or send him a shipping box and label. He relayed this and said he was advised by his "legal counsel" and they overnighted a box and label 😏

I’m with the ‘HR’ person. You quit effective immediately. They want their equipment back effective immediately. They’re entitled to have it back first thing in the morning. Them not wanting to mail it is fair. Damage etc. you quit so you figure it out.

The Great One Himself :
I would wait for the lawyers, this way there will be a paper trail so they cant say it was never returned, damaged or the incorrect equipment.

Im.Jeff.Z :
When I lost my job in covid they kept trying to get me to send back my gear overnight on my dime. They did the same thing trying to play hardball. I said they will mail me a box with a prepaid label and pick up it up because I’m not walking to the store for them. They pushed back. I told them I would walk it then gave them my hourly rate they were charging clients of $240 for my time walking to deliver their package. They sent a box and scheduled a pick up.

finnbot_1 :
I do not understand OP - they work in the same city but cannot return the devices? When you quit you have to return all the company devices and sign the return, once they no more work for the company they become random people in possession of company property.

As much as I want to side with the employee on this one, they need to check the employee handbook before they go any further. If there is a clause in the handbook that dictates how and when company property is to be returned, they risk losing money on their final paycheck.
