REIMBURSEMENT OF EMPLOYEES FOR DAMAGE

OF PERSONAL PROPERTY

The policy of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District shall be to provide limited reimbursement to employees for the repair or replacement of personal property. "Personal property" is defined as property that is necessarily worn or carried by employees -- such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, watches, or articles of clothing. To qualify for repair or replacement, the article must have been damaged in the line of duty without fault of the employee. Reimbursement shall be for the actual cost or repair or replacement above $20.00, and total reimbursement by the district shall be established by the Board of Education.

The right of the employee to reimbursement from the district shall be subordinate to the right of the employee to reimbursement from any other source, including the employee's own insurance company or his/her right to reimbursement as damages from any individual. The district reserves the right to postpone or deny reimbursement under this policy until the employee has exhausted his claim to reimbursement from sources other than the district.
