Personal cell phone calls should be kept to a minimum so as <br />not to interfere with employee productivity or distract others. Excessive personal <br />calls during work hours, regardless of the phone used, are unacceptable. <br />Employees using their own cell phones are subject to the same standards and are <br />expected to exercise discretion as well. <br />Payment <br />Employees who are paying for a phone provided by the City will have the total amount <br />they owe, including extra features, deducted from their payroll checks once a month. if <br />an employee accrues extra charges that are not regular monthly charges he or she will be <br />responsible for paying those charges by cash or check. If it is a continual occurrence, <br />such as exceeding 400 texts in a month, the employee will be required to enroll in the <br />unlimited text messaging plan due to excessive staff costs associated with tracking the <br />extra charges. <br />Employees who have their own phones that they also use for authorized City - related <br />purposes will be reimbursed at a rate equal to 2/3 of the monthly rate for a City - provided <br />phone. For example, if an employee is charged $10 per month for a City - provided phone <br />that costs $30 for basic service (not including extra features — which are paid for by each <br />employee), then an employee using his own phone would be reimbursed $20 per month, <br />or 2/3 of the cost of a City - provided phone. <br />Accessories <br />The City will furnish each City- provided phone user with an approved charger, protective <br />cover, belt clip, and /or face protector at no cost to the employee. Each individual phone <br />user will pay for any additional accessories. <br />City - provided Phone Damages <br />City - provided cell phones that are broken, damaged, or lost during the course of regular <br />work duties will be replaced at the City's expense. City - provided phones damaged or <br />lost due to carelessness will be replaced at the employee's expense if it happens within <br />one year of the purchase of the phone. The phone can be replaced for free after one year <br />under the provisions of the contract with the provider. <br />
