Can your employer make you take laptop home?

tbf... the days of me going out straight after work are fairly well gone ..

There you go, then, that's why it seems like a non-issue to you, but it might not to others.

Just like having to stay an hour or so later than official hours now and again is fairly much a non-issue to me but not to those with families to get home to or whatever.

The company should be providing you with a suitable backpack or rolling case if they expect you to be carrying it backwards and forwards all the time.

Swarfega, if you don't already have back problems, carrying a laptop round all the time would soon cause them if it wasn't it a proper bag or trolleycase, and if you don't have a car it's impossible to do the shopping/errands whilst carrying one.

I'd also want to know about the insurance situation, and proper data security. If I were to get mugged I wouldn't want to be forking out the excess for a laptop owned by the company.
