1. Any non-company expenses paid with a company credit card will have to be reported to your manager as soon as possible and **refunded** in full within 14 days.
1. **Items.** The company will pay for the following items if you **need it for work or use it mainly for business**, and local law allows us to pay for it without incurring payroll taxes. Items paid for by the company are property of the company and need to be reported with serial numbers etc. to People Ops for proper [asset tracking](/handbook/people-operations/sop/#asset-tracking). Since these items are company property, you do not need to buy insurance for them unless it is company policy to do so (for example, at the moment we do not purchase Apple Care), but you do need to report any loss or damage to PeopleOps as soon as it occurs. Links in the list below are to sample items, other options can be considered:
* Notebook: we recommend getting a [MacBook Pro 13-inch retina with 512GB of storage and 16GB of memory](http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro) for engineers and a [Macbook 256GB](http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-pro) for non-engineers (Mention to the Apple Store that you are buying it for GitLab so that we can qualify for [business discounts](http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/)). Running Unix makes it easier to work with git from the command line so we strongly recommend against Windows laptops. WebEx screen sharing does not work from a Linux platform while it is one of the more common conferencing tools used with customers that we all need to interact with from time to time. Additionally 1password doesn't have a native client for Linux and the web interface in Firefox is not that good. If you have strong reasons to want to deviate from this guideline just ask your manager.
