Hi Pam, Here is what is in our personnel policy manual. Attached is what the IS Department requires be signed. Due to public records issues with texts, etc., we have continued to provide separate county phones for those who need them. SECTION 7-G: TOOLS, SUPPLIES, EQUIPMENT, AND TELEPHONES a) When tools, supplies, telephones, and equipment needed to perform job duties are provided by the employer, it is the responsibility of supervisors and employees to see that they are properly used and maintained. b) Misuse, neglect, theft, and abuse of tools, supplies, equipment, or telephones is prohibited. Accidents involving misuse (or abuse) of tools, telephones or equipment will be cause for disciplinary action. If an employee loses tools or damages telephones or equipment, he or she may be required to pay for those items lost or damaged, at the discretion of the Appointing Authority. In that event, the employee may be given the opportunity to enter into an express contract by which the Employer may deduct or retain the wages of such employee, or a part thereof, for wares, tools, or machinery destroyed or damaged. c) Each department is responsible for the effective, efficient and responsible use of County acquired telephone services. At a minimum, departments shall implement the following requirements regarding County telephone services: i) Limitations on Personal Calls. Personal calls made using County wired or wireless telephone services shall comply with the following minimum requirements: (1) When using a County wireless telephone service, personal calls and/or text messages are acceptable only so long as they are kept to a minimum. Any employee who causes any additional expense to be incurred by the County due to personal use of a county wireless telephone service may be required to reimburse the county. (2) When using a County wired telephone service, the number, frequency and duration of personal calls shall be kept to a minimum and, whenever possible, made during lunch hours or authorized breaks. (3) Personal long distance calls made using the County's wired telephone service are only acceptable if charged to a personal credit card or personal telephone card, or if billed to a non-County third party number. In the case of an emergency, personal long distance calls may be made using the County's wired telephone service and charged initially to the County. It is incumbent upon the employee to find out the charge and reimburse the County for the cost of the call. (4) Personal business, which involves an activity undertaken for profit or gain of any kind, shall not be conducted using a County telephone service. Employees are prohibited from circulating their County telephone number as a telephone number at which they can be reached for personal business. Personal business cards and other such materials shall not have a County telephone number listed as a contact number. (5) Departments may, at their discretion, prohibit the use of any County telephone services to receive or originate personal calls if it suspects that the employee has been abusing the employee's privilege to use County telephone services for personal use. (6) Excessive use of personal calls may result in discipline up to and including termination ii) Limitations on Use of Personal Cell Phones. When using personal cell phones calls, texts, and emails shall be kept at a minimum and, whenever possible, made during lunch hours or authorized breaks. iii) Prohibited Calls. The following types of calls are prohibited if not related to official County business: (1) Pay per call numbers (2) Collect calls to County telephone services (3) Calls billed to County telephone services iv) Penalties. Violation of this policy may result in discipline up to and including termination, loss of the privilege to use the County phone services for personal use and in extreme cases offenders may face criminal prosecution. d) At the time of separation from employment, all county provided supplies including keys, uniforms, tools, telephones, laptops, etc. must be returned to the employee's supervisor. e) For additional information see Section 7-M Computers, Email and Internet Usage.

Thanks! We are also interested to see if any counties are reimbursing for personal cell phone use. Also, has CORSA developed a model policy for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and/or the PUMP Act?

Pam, I hope you had a good weekend and thank you for asking about the policy manual. We just finalized the updated policy manual, posted it to our website at the end of last week, and are in the process of drafting a cover letter to members regarding updates. Below is the updated Lactation Breaks and Pregnancy Accommodations policy with an explanation of the changes. Please let us know if you need anything further. Thanks, Frank regarding the CORSA BPPM policy as it relates to the PUMP Act and PWF Act. For the most part, the CORSA BPPM lactation policy was already in compliance with much of the PUMP Act, but in the updated BPPM to be released shortly, a line will be added related to shielding from teleworking video systems (computer cameras, security cameras, web conferencing platforms, etc.) as the Act now dictates. An additional line will also be added in response to the PWF Act. The PWF requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations to a worker's known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, unless the accommodation will cause the employer an "undue hardship." As such, language was added to ensure compliance. The highlighted language is the new language to be added. LACTATION BREAKS AND PREGNANCY ACCOMODATIONS Employees who have recently given birth will be allowed a reasonable break time in order to nurse or express breast milk, for up to one year after the child's birth. The employee will be provided appropriate space, other than a bathroom, that is shielded from view and free from intrusion from other employees, teleworking video systems, and members of the public. Lactation breaks under this policy should, to the extent possible, run concurrently with any other break time available to the employee. Employees who request reasonable accommodations for known limitations related to pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions will be provided accommodations that do not cause undue hardship to the employer.
