USE OF PROPERTY AND PROPERTY ISSUED

Employees are prohibited from being on University premises or using University facilities while not on duty or for personal use at any time.

Work tools and materials are provided by the University to its Employees for the sole purpose of performing work-related tasks. Work tools are the property of the University, and it is the responsibility of the Employee to use and maintain them appropriately. Deliberate carelessness or misuse of University property, or use without authorization, will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action, up to and including separation of employment. Lost or misplaced property that has been issued to an Employee must be reported immediately to Human Resources.

Employees are required to tell Human Resources if any equipment, machines, or tools appear to be damaged, defective, or in need of repair. When reported promptly, it helps to prevent deterioration of equipment and possible injury.

Upon an Employee’s resignation or the separation of employment, or at any other time the University so requests, Employees are required to return all items and property issued to them.
