3.18 Care of Company Issued Property and Supplies
You may be provided company issued property for use pertaining to E3 business and clients. This property includes

and company property such as computers, phones and other electronic devices. When issued and assigned company
property, you will be required to sign an agreement regarding use, maintenance, and forfeiture of said property
allowing E3 to deduct the replacement dollar value of the items from your paycheck should any item be damaged,
lost, or not returned at time of separation, in accordance with applicable law.

You are responsible for property while it is in your possession and will be charged to repair the property due to
neglect or damage beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage that occurs to company property must be
immediately reported to E3 Human Resources. If theft occurs, you must immediately file a police report and provide
a copy of the report to E3 Human Resources. Failure to do so may be grounds for adverse actions and revoked
privileges.
