you just answered your own question. If you signed papers saying you would pay for lost keys, then it's legal. You didn't have to sign them, you have the legal right. |
|

If you signed a paper saying you would pay for it then yes. If you didn't want to you shouldn't have signed the paper. |
|

Yes, if they made you sign something that's a legal binding agreement. Don't lose your keys and you'll be fine. |

Not a lawyer but yes. You signed the paper and took the keys. The business is in jeopardy because you couldn't meet your responsibilities.
Were I you I would tell my boss I will gladly meet my obligations and this won't happen again. Good enough lesson, then grow up. |

Hiring a lawyer for minor legal problems can be expensive, but there are websites like LawGuru, FindLaw and other places where you can get free legal advice. I found this website useful - http://www.uelp.org/freelegal.html |

yes you signed the document |
|

|
If you sign the contract, then yes. It is legally binding, and you would have to pay for the locks. |

I think you answered your own question when you stated that you signed papers affirming that you would replace the lock if you lost the keys. Sounds reasonable to me. Maybe, just maybe, the guy who lost his/her keys should be glad he/she doesn't have to pay for whatever was stolen. Something to think about. |

Yes, it's your fault. |
|

Yes because you are responsible for your keys. If you cant keep up with them that is not their fault. Plus you have signed the papers already to replace them if keys were lost. Go buy them locks! |
|

Janell T
 |
Yes it's legal because you have a responsibility with those keys and were entrusted with them. |
|

U signed it now it is your responsibility. |

Don't loose your keys and there won't be a problem. |

Yes. You can refuse to sign it BUT then they can find reasonable cause to say you are the reason that things were stolen because you lost your key- that's if you lose it.
If you really want to know if it's legal call a local attorney's office, or the city's court office. The receptionsits may even be able to tell you.
I would make sure you let your boss know that you don't mind taking responsibility if you lose them, but you want to be sure that this document isn't saying if your co-worker does, that you have to help pitch in too. It can be pricey & papers like those can have all sorts of implied meaning. Don't make them feel like you're uncooperative, just make sure they know that you want to know what you're signing and feel comfortable in your work environment. That way they don't give you a hard time in work. |

It is my opinion that if you have a set of keys, then you should be responsible for those keys. If you lose your keys, then the existing locks are compromised, and would have to be replaced. Why should your company have to pay for your losing your keys? I can see if it is a special situation: Your house burned down, the keys went with it....then no. You were mugged - keys were in your purse...then no. But if nothing extraordinary happens, and you just lose your keys, then sure - why not?
Now whether it is legal or not, I don't know....but I can tell you that if I make an error at my job (I work in the financial industry) my employer doesn't cover it - I have to.... |

NormalGirl
 |
Probably. |
|

ASDZA’NI
|
YES....
Now that they put it in writing and you signed it. |
|

if you signed it, that would seem that you would be liable
but, asking you to sign it i don' t know
most places if you lose your keys
they ask you to maybe pay to replace the keys not the locks
I would be looking for another job. |
|

Judy
|
Yes. |
|

tammeradickey
|
Usually no, but if you signed anything saying you would replace them, then yes, you committed yourself when you signed the paper.
Sorry. |
|

Lydia
 |
Um...yes. That's the reason for the papers, saying you'll replace the locks. That means you are gonna pay for them to be replaced. It probably says you are not to make copies of those keys either. Sorry bud |
|

leysarob
|
If you signed the paper, then, yes, it's legal. |
|

smbfc
 |
Sort of. It's more of a policy issue. I would look for a new job. |

I just asked my husband about the legalities of this one. He said, it seems like a reasonable request but that they can't make you sign the paper.
However, he did say that you are lucky that they are not taking action against you for negligence which he might have considered doing !
hope this helps |

Thankful
