Who this list is for
This checklist is for employees who need to return company-issued equipment, whether you’re leaving a job or swapping out devices. It’s aimed at making sure you return all property and follow your employer’s instructions for a smooth handover.
How to use this list
Begin by reading your employer’s equipment return instructions. Gather all items you were issued, such as your laptop, charger, monitor (if you received one), dock, keyboard and mouse, phone, security token, and access badge. Use your inventory list to check off each item. Place everything in suitable return packaging to avoid damage. If your employer has data-handling instructions, follow them before returning devices. Bring your handover receipt or ask for one during the return.
What to skip
Don’t include personal accessories or items not on your company’s inventory. Avoid returning damaged items without first reporting them. Don’t skip data-handling steps—failing to follow these can cause security issues or delays. If you’re unsure about an item, check with your employer before returning it.
What is on this list
You’ll see items like employer return instructions, laptop, charger, monitor, dock, keyboard and mouse, phone, security token, access badge, inventory of issued items, return packaging, handover receipt, and employer data-handling instructions. Cross off each item as you pack or return it. If you never received an item (like a monitor or phone), note that on your inventory.
After the visit
Keep your handover receipt and any signed inventory forms. If you returned devices by mail, track the shipment until it’s confirmed delivered. Notify your employer once everything is returned, and keep records in case questions come up later. Dispose of any personal copies of company data according to employer guidelines.
