What is an Cell Phone Policy?

A cell phone policy tells employees what the rules are about using their cell phones when they’re on the clock and how employees should use their company-issued phones. It usually includes the following information:

  • When an employee can use their phone at work
  • Where they need to be if they are using their phone (for example, where customers can’t see them)
  • Whether personal cell phones can be used for business purposes
  • Information about company-issued cell phones, like who is responsible for the bill and whether reimbursement will be issued
  • What apps can be downloaded and what websites can be visited from company cell phones

The cell phone policy should also outline what happens if an employee breaks the rules. This makes sure that everyone is on the same page and reduces confusion about cell phone use.

Employers may develop a cell phone policy using one of our online templates. They can then save and print it and include it in employee handbooks and hand it to new hires along with other onboarding materials.
