However, associates are expected to exercise good judgement and stay productive at work. Note that access is monitored and logged on company devices and the company network (see “Monitoring and Privacy” section). If you’re unsure what constitutes acceptable Internet usage, speak with your manager. Personal Devices and Cell Phones The Use of personal devices and cell phones are not permitted during work hours.
