Section 599.725 - Stolen Personal Property

When tools, equipment an employee is required to use in the performance of his/her assigned work is stolen, the employee's agency may reimburse him/her for his/her loss or provide him/her with an exact duplicate, provided that:

(a) the item is required in the employee's work; and

(b) the loss occurred at the work site, the work base, or en route between the two locations; and

(c) the loss was not caused by carelessness or negligence on the part of the employee.

Employees required to use their personal tools or equipment, as a condition of employment, shall provide their employing unit with an inventory of all personal property used on the job.

Personal property stolen from a work site or base shall be reported to the local police having jurisdiction over the area in which the theft occurs. A copy of the police report of the theft shall accompany the claim for reimbursement.

The employee's agency shall verify the value of the property by original records, current price lists or other appropriate methods. Claims for replacement value of $500 and above require prior approval by the Department.

The choice of reimbursement or replacement rests with the employee's agency, but the employee's preference must be considered before a decision is made.
