Personal Use of Program Software and Hardware

Although this topic is touched on some in Internet Use and Email sections it warrants further discussion. To what extent can staff use the equipment for non work related activity? In addition to internet and email considerations should staff be allowed to load games on their computer or play online games? How about music and MP3s? How about selling on eBay or making personal online purchases?

 

Things to Consider

• Programs seem pretty evenly divided on this. Some completely prohibit and others allow personal use on non-work time for things not prohibited.

• You can limit installations and downloads in a separate User Control of Workstation section if you like.
