Yeah, as stated -- either they take ownership and responsibility for the hardware, or it becomes your property if they fail to claim it. This sounds like a slippery slope to accidental situations involving damaged equipment returned months out of employment.

edit - To be frank, most Remote companies just write off the accessories. You return the big hardware, the laptop. The rest is yours, usually as it's budgeted and paid out differently than wage / bonus would be, so to claw it back is to get into hazy tax territory too.

> if they fail to claim it

Makes sense, but what is an acceptable threshold here? A month? A year? That’s the question.
