Model Email and Voice Mail Policy
by Frank L. Kollman

Email and voice mail have generated problems in the workplace. The following policy helps to eliminate some of those problems.

Email and Voice Mail (VM) belong to the Company, and they are important components of the Company’s business records. Email and VM systems are provided by the Company for employees to perform Company work, and their contents are Company property. Although the Company does not routinely monitor Email and VM, we reserve the right to review them for proper reasons, including to find lost messages or to investigate wrongful acts.

Employees may use Email or VM for personal communications that do not interfere with or conflict with business use. Good judgment must be exercised by all employees who employ these systems for personal use. You must understand, however, that personal messages may be reviewed by the Company if legitimate reasons become apparent.

Use of Email and VM is limited to employees and authorized vendors, temporaries, or contractors. Employees and authorized users are responsible to maintain the security of their account and their password. You should change your password regularly and take precautions to prevent unauthorized access to your mailbox by logging off when your terminal is not in use. Email and VM passwords should be at least 6 alphanumeric characters including at least one numeric character for Email.
