Are the chips company property, and do you have to give it back once you separate employment?

Idiocracy is here! Instead of a barcode it's a chip.

That would be a problem if you terminate, would they have to serve you a notice to demand it back or just deduct the cost of the device from your last check?

Of course, they don't tell you that, but they're in there.
From what I've heard...they have been standard in Fleet enemas and recital thermometers since 1936...just sayin'...I ain't wanting one though!

jhe888It isn't mandatory and it is a private employer. I wouldn't agree but it isn't improper.

flashguyI could maybe see RFID in the badge an employee wears, because it also allows everyone else to know your name; an imbedded chip doesn't do that.
What's the range of the chip? How many things would a person buy just by waving his hands around without meaning to?
Absolutely not!

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown July 25, 2017, 08:50 AM
sigspecopsIs flashing a card to open a door or to buy something so hard and time consuming that it necessitates having a foreign object placed into your body? I wouldn't be surprised to see everyone in the military being required to have these soon.

zdog16No sir you can go and kick rocks with this one. I already have way too much titanium in my body and you ain't adding no damn computer chips.
For ME:
DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9
Striker fired= Glock 9mm
If it's a .45= 1911
Suppressed= HK in .45
I like anything in 10mm

RustybladeThe past few decades have brought people much socially sensitive tech -- tech that fits in both The Best Of and The Worst Of categories:
the cell phone
the 'chip'
In a ideal world tech would work in favor of we-the-people
...unfortunately -we- have politicians between us and the real world
