If the clothing, watch or eye glasses are damaged beyond repair, a state agency may pay an employee an amount not exceeding the actual value of the clothing, watch or eye glasses as determined by the employee’s appointing authority.

Payments shall not be approved for damage to an item if the actual value or repair cost is less than an amount set forth in the compensation plan under s. 230.12 .
