Re: Computer Use Policy

Due to many changes in the corporate structure, and because we have instituted a new “bring your own device” policy, it is very important that we create a computer use policy for all employees to sign. This will alert them to potential ethical issues that may arise due to the use of the company technology. Please research several computer use policies online. You may use them as guides in development of our policy; however, it is very important that you do not duplicate or copy any policy to avoid copyright infringement claims against the company.
