13.10 Cell Phone Use While Driving

We know that our employees may use cell phones or other digital devices for work-related matters, whether these devices belong to you or are issued by Play-Well.

However, you are prohibited from using cell phones or other digital devices for work-related matters while driving. We are concerned for your safety and for the safety of other drivers and pedestrians, and using a cell phone or other digital device while driving can lead to accidents.

If you must make a work-related call, or send or read a text while driving, you must wait until you can pull over safely and stop the car before calling or texting. If you receive a work-related call while driving, you must ask the caller to wait while you pull over safely and stop the car. If you are unable to pull over safely, you must tell the caller that you will have to call back when it is safe to do so.

You may use hands-free equipment to make or answer calls while driving without violating this policy. However, safety must always be your first priority. We expect you to keep these calls brief. If, because of weather or traffic conditions or for any other reason, you are unable to concentrate fully on the road, you must either end the conversation or pull over and safely park your vehicle before resuming your call. While on Play-Well time, you are expected to adhere to all state and local laws pertaining to the use of cell phones, digital devices and hands-free equipment in your area. If you are issued a violation or fine due to cell phone use while driving, it is your responsibility to pay the fine; it will under no circumstance be reimbursed by Play-Well TEKnologies.
