Creating and enforcing a cell phone policy in the workplace is becoming more important as more employees than ever are using cellular phones as they carry out their jobs. A good cell phone policy addresses the serious issues concerning safety, security, and privacy regarding cell phone use.
Here's what your company needs to know about cell phone laws and policies.
The company cell phone policy should address current state laws regarding cell phone use while driving. Some state cell phone laws prohibit the use of handheld devices while operating a motor vehicle, but they allow the use of hands-free devices. What are some of the liability concerns cell phones raise for your company? If one of your employees has an auto accident and harms someone while making a work-related cell phone call, your company as well as the employee may be found liable. Several lawsuits have been filed against employers as well as the employees themselves who allegedly have harmed someone because they were simultaneously driving and engaging in a business call on a cell phone.
