Resources
Effective use of Company resources is critical to our profitability. Company resources include such things as Company time, materials, supplies, telephones, equipment, information, electronic mail and computer systems. We provide these resources to fulfill Company goals and purposes. Your manager or supervisor must approve any personal, community, charitable or other non-business use of these or other company resources.
You may use Company resources, such as a copy machine, telephone, Internet access or e-mail, for personal reasons as long as your use is limited, authorized at your work location and does not result in measurable increased costs. Your usage must be lawful and consistent with our Code of Conduct and must not interfere with the performance of your job responsibilities or distract other employees.
Personal use that is excessive or that violates Company policy is prohibited unless approved in advance by your supervisor or manager. Some examples of excessive use of company resources or use that violates Company policy include:
- Excessive calling or faxing long-distance
- Extensive photocopying
- Copying computer software programs (except as authorized by licensing agreements)
- Bringing office supplies home
- Driving or using a Company vehicle, tools, equipment or other Company assets without authorization
- Using electronic networks, including the Internet, except as authorized by local policy
- Using any CIT Software resources for personal financial gain
You should report any improper use of Company resources to your manager or supervisor, the Ethics Officer for your business or the CIT Software Office. By limiting Company resources to business purposes, you are helping CIT Software to control costs
