The department AC will then submit the Ergonomic Support Tool & Equipment (ESTE) reimbursement form to SH&S for reimbursement. Note that the department will only be reimbursed for items vetted by SH&S and they do not reimburse labor costs from Facilities or PDC. Items $101 or more will receive a 50% rebate from SH&S.
