When I was on a job and we went for coffee, someone stole my screwdriver. My employer now says that I have to pay for this myself because according to him I should take better care of my things. However, I am always very neat about my things and this is the first time in twelve and a half years of employment that something of mine has been stolen. He also says that I received a memo stating this. However, I have never received a memo stating that I have to pay for my tools myself if they are lost or stolen.\n\n Now my question is, do I have to pay for this stolen screwdriver myself or should my employer do this. By the way, the screwdriver was already 5 years old and I think it was already written off, which is why the value is already 0.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nIn principle, you are responsible for the things your employer sends you out with. If you have been very careless, then compensation could be demanded of you. Under the circumstances you have described, that seems to me to be going very far and I would therefore oppose it if I were you. A memo that your employer cannot prove that you received cannot be used against you. If there were any compensation, then it would concern the actual damage and in that case you would certainly not have to pay for a new screwdriver.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Boogaard forgets article 7:661 Civil Code and the case law of the Supreme Court. On that basis, the employer cannot hold you liable. You therefore do not have to compensate the screw driver.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55005946741085,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-54727-ik-heb-een-geschil-met-mijn-werkgever-over-een-gestolen-schroeftol-toen-ik-op-karwei-was-en-wij-kof","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
