Bring Your Own Devices, Just Don't Bring Me a Lawsuit!
OADA Webinar

The reality of your dealership's workplace is that some or all of your employees are using their own electronic devices, such as smart phones, flash drives, laptops and tablet computers to perform their job responsibilities. Some employers authorize this through workplace policies known as "bring your own device" ("BYOD") policies.
Other employers have no policy at all, resulting in a permissive practice that makes an employee's electronic device part of the employer's information technology infrastructure without thinking through the downside and risks of such a practice. The hidden risks and costs of these "bring your own device" policies and practices are significant and need to be explored by employers. The risks and costs the these BYOD policies generally fall into six separate categories:
- Increased monetary costs;
- Wage and hour claims;
- Confidential information and trade secret loss;
- Third-party data breach;
- Invasion of employee privacy; and
- Increased electronic discovery and litigation hold burdens.
Join OADA and Meghan Majernik, an attorney at Fisher & Phillips' Cleveland office, for this interactive webinar. We will address how to minimize the risks of employees' use of their own devices at work, and talk about best practices and procedures for your dealership.
