Document background
The Laptop Loaner Form is an essential document used when organizations provide temporary or long-term use of laptop equipment to employees or contractors. This document type has become increasingly important with the rise of remote and hybrid work arrangements in South Africa. The form, governed by South African law, particularly POPIA and the Consumer Protection Act, serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the transfer of equipment possession, establishes clear terms of use and responsibilities, protects the organization's assets, and ensures proper handling of company equipment and data. Organizations should implement this document whenever issuing company-owned laptops, ensuring clear documentation of equipment details, loan duration, and user obligations.
