Can an Acceptable Use Policy restrict my personal use of company devices during non-working hours?
I work for a company that recently implemented an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) which governs the use of company devices, such as laptops and smartphones. The AUP states that these devices are to be used strictly for work-related purposes and prohibits any personal use. However, I have been using my company laptop for personal activities during non-working hours, such as checking personal email and browsing the internet. I am wondering if the AUP can legally restrict my personal use of company devices even outside of working hours, and if so, what consequences could I face for violating this policy?

Depending on the actual language included in your employer’s Acceptable Use Policy, using company equipment for personal use outside of working hours may be a violation of terms. As well, the consequences should be outlined in the AUP. Here, the wording of the clause itself matters and should be reviewed by an attorney. I’m happy to take a look if you like. Hope this helps!

Can an Acceptable Use Policy be used to restrict employees' personal use of company-owned devices?
I work for a company that recently implemented a new Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for our company-owned devices, including laptops and smartphones. The policy states that these devices are to be used solely for work-related purposes. However, many employees have been using their company devices for personal activities during breaks or after work hours. I'm wondering if the company can enforce this AUP to restrict employees' personal use of these devices, and what potential legal implications or challenges may arise from doing so.

Generally, the answer to your question is "yes, a company can restrict employee's personal use of a company-owed device" as the company's have the right to restrict access, use of their own property and further, they have a right to protect proprietary property that may be affected by the personal use of a device which the company owns. Another question that your question raises, is, does a company actually achieve the restriction of its company-owned device in its Acceptable Use Policy. The policy itself needs to be examined by an attorney highly familiar with contract drafting, revision, etc.
