Should I pay for the damage to the company's equipment?

Legal analysis: the company's equipment will be compensated for damage. If the machine breaks down after normal use, then workers don't need to compensate the company's equipment. However, if the laborer intentionally or negligently causes damage to the equipment and losses to the employer, then the laborer needs to bear the corresponding liability for compensation. For the compensation for economic losses, the general employer can deduct it from the employee's own salary.

Legal basis: Article 16 of the Interim Provisions on Payment of Wages. If an employee causes economic losses to the employer due to his own reasons, the employer may require him to compensate for the economic losses according to the stipulations of the labor contract. Compensation for economic losses can be deducted from the employee's own salary. However, the monthly deduction shall not exceed 20% of the employee's monthly salary. If the deducted surplus wage is lower than the local monthly minimum wage, it shall be paid according to the minimum wage.
