An employee has been fired and you are under direction to retrieve company property they keep in their locker. What do you do?

  1. Immediately open the locker with bolt cutters and seize the company property

  2. Ask management for a second key and have the foreman witness what you remove and turn over the fired employee’s property at a later date

  3. Let the employee empty their locker and bring the items to you at your post

  4. Escort them, get them to open the locker, document everything belonging to the company and have them sign that you have obtained these items from them.

The correct answer is: Escort them, get them to open the locker, document everything belonging to the company and have them sign that you have obtained these items from them.

Answer D is the correct answer because it respects the employee's privacy while also protecting the interests of the company. The fired employee is given the opportunity to open their own locker, which ensures that their personal belongings are not wrongfully seized. This approach also minimises possible disputes over what constitutes company property. Documenting everything that belongs to the company provides a record of the retrieved objects, and getting the employee to sign that these items have been obtained from them confirms their acknowledgement of the process and can be used as evidence if disputes arise later. This method is both respectful and compliant with legal norms and practices.
