Cell Phone Usage

Lakeland provides cellular telephones to some employees as a business tool. They are provided to assist employees in communicating with management and other employees, their clients, associates, and others with whom they may conduct business. Cell phone use is primarily intended for business-related calls. However, occasional, brief personal use is permitted within a reasonable limit. Cell phone invoices may be monitored. Employees who abuse the privilege or violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Employees may be required to pay costs incurred by excessive personal use, damage or loss of cellular phones.

As a representative of Lakeland, cell phone users are reminded that the regular business etiquette employed when speaking from office phones or in meetings applies to conversations conducted over a cell phone.
