At [company], we understand that cell phones can be a useful tool for staying connected and productive. However, the use of cell phones can also be a distraction in the workplace and can interfere with an employee’s ability to perfåorm their job duties.
With that in mind, we have developed the following cell phone policy to ensure that the use of cell phones in the workplace is appropriate and does not interfere with an employee’s ability to perform their job duties.
- Employees are permitted to use their cell phones during non-working hours (such as during lunch breaks or before and after work).
- During working hours, employees are expected to keep their cell phones on silent or vibrate mode and only use them for work-related purposes. Personal calls and texts should be limited to emergencies only.
- Employees are not permitted to use their cell phones while operating machinery or equipment, or while performing any task that requires their full attention.
- Employees who violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
We understand that cell phones can be a useful tool for staying connected and productive. However, we also want to ensure that the use of cell phones in the workplace does not interfere with an employee’s ability to perform their job duties.
If you have any questions about this policy, please speak with your supervisor.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
Human Resources Manager
