What happens if the PC and/or the peripheral equipment gets stolen or damaged?
It is your responsibility to insure the PC and/or any peripheral equipment. The University of Bristol has not insured the equipment, as this would involve extra cost to the employee. For many employees the equipment will already be included in their home insurance policy. You are responsible for the security of the equipment and if it is stolen you will have to continue with the salary sacrifice until the loan period would have finished, so it is best to ensure that the equipment is insured. Any loss or damage to the PC equipment (not covered by Standard Warranty) will also need to be paid for by you. The University recommends that all employees contact their home insurance broker and ensure the PC equipment is included in the home insurance policy. There are only three likely scenarios: • It is covered, and therefore no action is necessary • It is covered, but it needs to be identified separately due to its value • It is not covered, and a small additional premium may be payable FAQ l
