I recommend you partner with your legal experts to devise a policy. Here are some considerations for your company's policy:
1. You may want to establish policies for two or three tiers of employees: managers and staff; or, managers, staff, and sales representatives. Sales people, for instance, are likely to require more usage than others, so a policy should reflect differing usage needs for differing types of employees. Who gets a mobile phone?
2. Do you want to allow business and some personal use or business only? Weekend usage?
3. Do you want to set limits on minutes used in a month? week? or unlimited use for certain employees?
4. What usage restrictions do you want to impose while employuees are driving? Must they use a headset and be "hands free?"
5. Do you want to restrict text messaging, phones with cameras, taking pictures of proprietary information?
6. Establishing mobile phone etiquette is also part of a policy. For instance, do you want a restriction on use of cell phones during company or other business meetings?
There are a myriad of issues, some of which I have indicated above. Thanks for your question.
