Mains’l recognizes that damage of employee property may occur while working with people we support or within the day to day completion of job responsibilities. To reduce the risk of damage to personal property, a collaborative effort between the agency and its employees is necessary. Mains’l reimburses employees whose personal property has been damaged in some situations as outlined in the procedure below

Procedure: 

Reimbursable Employee Property
1.    Clothing, eye glasses, and wrist watches;
2.    Employee vehicles;
3.    Other personal property at the discretion of Mains’l.

*Damage to personal property resulting from negligence of the employee or violation of training protocols is not reimbursable.

  • Cost of repair or replacement;
    • When there is damage to an article of clothing or a watch, the maximum reimbursement is $25.00.

  • If applicable, name of person receiving service responsible for the damage.
