Description

The Cell Phone Policy outlines the approved parameters for using personal cell phones while at work to ensure safety and minimize distractions. It emphasizes that employees may only use cell phones for emergencies unless explicitly authorized otherwise, and usage should be restricted to making phone calls. The policy prohibits any additional functions, such as text messaging and photography, during work hours. Employees disregard this policy may face disciplinary action, which can lead to immediate termination. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need a clear understanding of acceptable cell phone use to promote a productive work environment. It serves as a guideline for attorneys drafting workplace policies or advising clients on creating similar rules. Legal assistants and paralegals can use this form to ensure compliance with workplace regulations. Moreover, it helps owners and partners maintain professional standards and mitigate potential disruptions caused by unauthorized cell phone usage.
