2.17 Cell Phone The use of personal cell phones at work is discouraged because it can interfere with work and be disruptive to others. Employees who bring personal cell phones to work are required to keep the ringer shut off or on vibrate mode when they are working and to keep cell phone use confined to breaks and meal periods. Conversations should be had away from areas where other employees are working. When cell phone use interferes with the satisfactory performance of an employee's duties or disturbs others, the privilege of using a personal cell phone at work may be removed, and other disciplinary action, up to and including termination, may be imposed. The Company may provide cell phone allowances to employees in certain positions to improve efficiency and effectiveness. When cell phones are used for Company business, employees must comply with all Company policies governing conduct, including our policies prohibiting discrimination, harassment, and violence in the workplace. When using the cell phone in a public place, please remember to maintain the confidentiality of any private or confidential business information. As a courtesy to others, please shut cell phones off or place them on vibrate mode during meetings. Personal Electronic Devices The use of cell phones or any electronic device is restricted to break and lunch periods unless otherwise approved by management.
