Company Cell Phones

Employees in certain positions are issued Company devices, such as cell phones, tablets, and laptops, so that they can stay in contact with patients and coworkers when working away from the office.

Employees are expected to take appropriate safety precautions when using a Company-issued device. Use of a handheld cell phone while driving is prohibited. Employees must comply with all Company policies and applicable Florida laws regarding cell phone use, including the Florida Ban on Texting While Driving Law (Florida Statutes Section 316.305) and the prohibition on handheld wireless device use in school zones and active work zones (Florida Statutes Section 316.306).

Employees may be held responsible for overage charges that result from excessive personal use of a Company-issued device.

Cell phone use is not a job requirement for most positions. Employees who are not issued a Company cell phone will not be reimbursed for use of a personal cell phone.

Employees are expected to take proper care of any device issued to them. Lost, broken, or damaged Company devices must be reported to Human Resources immediately. All Company-issued devices must be returned upon separation from the Company or upon transfer to a position that does not require a Company device.
