§ 2862 Employee Delivery To Employer

Key Takeaways

•If you work for someone and get something (like money or items) for them, you don’t have to give it back right away unless they ask for it.
•You can’t send it back in a risky way (like mailing cash) unless they ask you to—just keep it safe until they do.
•This only applies if you’re more than just a basic worker (like a manager or someone with responsibility).

Example

You’re a store manager, and a customer pays you $500 in cash for a big order. Your boss didn’t ask for the money yet.

You don’t have to rush to send the cash to your boss unless they ask for it. You also can’t mail it (because it could get lost)—just keep it safe until they tell you what to do.

An employee who receives anything on account of his employer, in any capacity other than that of a mere servant, is not bound to deliver it to the employer until demanded, and is not at liberty to send it to the employer from a distance, without demand, in any mode involving greater risk than its retention by the employee himself. (Enacted by Stats. 1937, Ch. 90.)
