CELLULAR PHONE PROGRAM

The Redwoods Community College District's cellular phone program is administered by the Office of Human Resources. All staff participating in the program must adhere to the following:

Business Use Program

1. Participants must be employed in a permanent District position.
2. The Office of Human Resources is responsible for authorizing all Business Use cellular phones.
3. Business Use cellular phones are the property of the college and are issued based on the need of the District only. The phones will be returned to the college if the employee discontinues employment with the college. Final paychecks may be withheld pending return of cellular phones.
4. The college will replace lost, damaged, or stolen phones. The employee is responsible for notifying Human Resources immediately to prevent unauthorized use of the phone.
5. Employees may request to purchase cellular phone accessories from college funds as long as such accessories enhance the functionality of the phone. Purely cosmetic or similar accessories are the responsibility of the employee.
6. Employees issued a phone under the Business Use Program may elect to pay the college a personal use fee that would allow the employee to make and receive personal calls using the business cellular phone. Annual payment of the personal use fee will be by payroll deduction in September of each year. The employee shall pay all personal long distance calls beyond the 11 Western states "Roam Like Home" service option provided. Application forms and detailed information regarding the personal use option shall be updated and maintained in the Office of Human Resources.
7. The Office of Human Resources will determine the annual personal use fee. This fee will be calculated based on employee cell phone usage/cost analysis of the prior fiscal year.
