Question: 1 / 50

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

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

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

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

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 key to this question is to determine the safest and most effective way to retrieve company property from a fired employee. Option A is immediately invasive and could lead to a confrontation, while option C relies on the honesty of the employee to turn over all company property. Option B is a better choice than option A or C, as it involves management and witness to ensure all property is retrieved and documented. However, option D is the best choice as it involves escorting the employee, obtaining their consent to open the locker, documenting all items belonging to the company, and having them sign to confirm the retrieval of these items. This allows for a peaceful and official retrieval of company property.
