I fired an employee of mine 2 months ago and she still hasn't came back to collect her personal belongings, i.e.: radio, family pictures, etc. How long do I have to hold onto it before I throw it away? I have contacted her several times and she keeps saying she will be in, but never shows.
Don't throw her stuff away. Call your local state employment office and see if there are any laws governing disposal of a former employees property. Your best bet, is to mail all the items to her last address, Certified Return Recept mail. Include an item inventory with the shipment and have a least two people present when all items are collected and packaged. She could be waiting for you to throw things away so you end up in Court. |
