While Arkansas Support Network permits employees to bring personal cell phones and other mobile devices (i.e. smart phones, tablets, laptops) into the workplace, you must not allow the use of such devices to interfere with your job duties or impact workplace safety and health.
Use of personal cell phones and mobile devices at work can be distracting and disruptive and cause a loss of productivity. Thus, you should primarily use such personal devices during nonworking time, such as breaks and meal periods. During this time, use devices in a manner that is courteous to those around you. Outside nonworking time, use of such devices should be minimal and limited to emergency use only. If you have a device that has a camera and/or audio/video recording capability, you are restricted from using those functions on Company property unless authorized in advance by management or when they are used in a manner consistent with your right to engage in concerted activity under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA).
You are expected to comply with Company policies regarding the protection of confidential and proprietary information when using personal devices.
While operating a vehicle on work time, the Company requires that the driver's personal cell phone/mobile device be turned off. If you need to make or receive a phone call while driving, pull off the road to a safe location unless you have the correct hands-free equipment for the device that is in compliance with applicable state laws.
You may not connect your personal device to the Company network or to Company equipment (computers, printers, etc.).
You may have the opportunity to use your personal devices for work purposes. Before using a personal device for work-related purposes, you must obtain written authorization from the IT department. The use of personal devices is limited to certain employees and may be limited based on compatibility of technology.
Nothing in this policy is intended to prevent employees from engaging in protected concerted activity under the NLRA. You will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment for violation of this policy.
