Personal Telephone Calls

Issued by: Human Resources

Effective Date: July 1978

Revised: October 1986; July 1990


Because of the large volume of College business transacted by telephone, the use of College telephones for personal matters is discouraged. The College recognizes that there may be times when personal calls must be made or received during business hours. Such calls must be held to a minimum, however, and must not interfere with the employee's work. Employees are encouraged to make such calls during their breaks or lunch time.

When a long-distance call must be made in an emergency situation, the call should be billed to the caller's home telephone number or personal phone card.
