Can the employer refuse to pay my dues after termination if I lost charger of work laptop?

Hi there

So yesterday I went through a mutual termination dismissal. I handed in the work laptop but I lost the charger.

I asked the HR lady that from my final pay, they may deduct the amount of the charger and the laptop back which all amounts to R700.

She emailed me that they are declining that arrangement.

Does that mean they won't pay me my final pay?

Or what does declining that imply?

Hi,

We can't expect what they will do, but if they didn't pay you, you can sue the company.
