Policies to Limit Liability for Employee's Use of Smartphones

 

Gain a better understanding of the risks and benefits of employees' cell phone use.

Cell phone use is ubiquitous. Employers want to capitalize on that by equipping employees with cell phones. But the use of cell phones constitutes work time, and has implications in compensation, liability, privacy, and trade secrets. This topic will cover whether to allow employees to use their personal cell phones for work use, whether to provide cell phones to employees, whether to allow employees to use their cell phones while driving, and who what rights the company vs. the employee has in privacy related to cell phone use. Implementing the correct policy can save employers money and cover the employer in the event of accident or other incident.
