La prohibición del uso de móviles debe incluirse en las reglas de comportamiento de la empresa y debe ser de conocimiento del trabajador
A recent video featuring a labor law expert clarifies the legal standing of companies prohibiting mobile phone use in the workplace. According to the expert, while employers can indeed restrict phone use, specific legal requirements must be met for such policies to be enforceable. The expert emphasizes that any prohibition on mobile phones must be formally documented within the company's rules and regulations. Crucially, this document must be explicitly communicated to employees, who are then required to acknowledge their understanding of the policy, typically through a signature. "If an employer sanctions an employee for using their mobile phone, but there is no documented rule or the employee was not formally notified of such a rule," the expert stated, "then that sanction is entirely challengeable and should be rendered ineffective." Conversely, if a clear, documented policy exists and the employee has acknowledged it, then the company's right to sanction phone use is legally sound. This information is vital for both employees to understand their rights and for employers to ensure their policies are legally robust.
