Equipment Replacement/Repair and Policy Violations

If you damage or lose/misplace a company owned device or tool, you will be responsible for the cost of its replacement. Costs of the replacement equipment will be determined by current market values and availability. If the device can be repaired, then the costs of repairs will be passed along to the party responsible for the device. All expenses will be deducted from your next paycheck unless the amount is greater than $500 in which the deduction will be spread across two paychecks. If the costs incurred are greater than the amount of your next two paychecks, you will need to contact HR in order coordinate a payment plan.

If a device is claimed as stolen, a proper report/claim will need to be formally filed with support@motorwerks.com as well as hr@motorwerks.com. Video footage will be reviewed to evaluate the claim. If a device is stolen off-premise of any Motor Werks owned Facility or there is no valid footage of the device being stolen on-premise, the user is responsible for the equipment replacement per the Equipment Replacement/Repair policies defined in this document.

Violations of this policy can result in disciplinary action, up to and including, termination. Anyone using the equipment for defamatory, illegal, fraudulent or other inappropriate purposes deemed by management, may also be subject to civil liability or criminal prosecution, when appropriate.
