Unfortunately my personal MacBook's screen broke at work (fell off the table by accident). Now, I have been at this company (a startup) for 18 months and at the time my boss was keen on me using my personal computer. We have grown to a few more employees, and I don't think it is now fair - it has taken on significant wear and tear (and obviously a broken screen now).

Further, the MacBook is getting oldish, and there is some performance problems with one of software apps I use. I also use it a lot for personal use (photography etc). What should my next steps be?

1. Ask my employer for the repairs?




2. Ask for a new laptop (company would own it)?




3. Any other option?

You should certainly ask your employer for any charges against repair. Ideally they should oblige as your boss was aware (even insistent) on you using a personal equipment. Your case becomes strong as you have been already using it for 18 months now. But there's no reason to assume that your boss will comply.

I am assuming that nothing such must have been mentioned in your job offer, you may be denied any sorts of reimbursements. Employer owned equipments are generally covered under insurance, which wouldn't be the case for your personal equipment. Your best option would be to ask for charges against repairs.

Asking for a company owned equipment in this case (your second option), will likely come with its own limitations, such as you may not be allowed it to use outside of your office network or not having the ability to use it for personal work as you mentioned.

Any other option?

In my opinion, your best stance should be to request your boss to cover your any repairs. Using an equipment comes with an associated cost (procurement and maintenance) for a company which your employer hasn't incurred. You can state that you haven't been compensated by the company for it. The least you deserve it to get reimbursed for repairs against damages, wear and tear.

You should also ask your boss to provide you with a company owned equipment moving forward.
