Your questions seem to blend two things: 1) stipend to cover the cost of cellular service for mobile employees, and 2) data protection.
We do not cover the cost or provide a stipend for home Internet service. If a supervisor, with support from their VP, decides that the employee is required to be mobile given their job responsibilities, they are eligible for a stipend for cellular service, including a data plan, at different tiers for reimbursement. That policy is here: http://wwwp.oakland.edu/policies/business-and-finance/206/ Data protection is expected to apply to the data wherever the data are in transmission or stored, regardless of device. That policy is here: http://wwwp.oakland.edu/policies/information-technology/860/ Best wishes, Theresa On Fri, May 22, 2015 at 4:38 PM, Policy <[email protected]> wrote: > ACUPA Members: > > We are currently considering a policy to end the University’s current > policy of providing cell phones to qualifying employees.
