The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) established a cellular phone policy to provide uniform guidelines for the use and procurement of University-provided cellular phones in a manner consistent with U.S. Internal Revenue Service Code and UNMC Policy No. 5000, [[Purchasing]].

Cellular telephones may be provided to certain UNMC employees to conduct activities incident to their University employment that either cannot be conducted on a land-line telephone or for which it would be inefficient to use a land-line telephone. Such activities can include improving customer service, enhancing business efficiency, and providing safety and/or security.  Cellular phones may be required to be carried by certain UNMC employees who are required to be available 24/7 by their supervisor as a condition of employment. <br />

 

Requests for cellular phones, including a statement of the business need, must be approved at the level of a department chair, center director, dean, assistant vice chancellor or above. UNMC cellular phones and service are provided solely through a contract with a wireless cellular contractor through the UNMC Procurement Office; exceptions may be granted by the UNMC Procurement Manger only if coverage is not adequate through the contractor. <br />

 

Employees are responsible for operating vehicles and potentially hazardous equipment in a safe and prudent manner. Therefore, employees must refrain from using cellular phones while operating University vehicles.
