Download 704.1P - Agreement for the Use of or Supplemental Compensation for a Cellular Device
If the responsibilities of your job as an employee of District 196 require you to have the use of a cellular device such as a cell phone or pager, you must complete this form.
To ensure district compliance with state and federal laws, choose one of the following options:
Option 1: Employee-owned Cellular Devices
If your supervisor has determined your job or program justifies the use of a cellular device for the fulfillment of your job responsibilities (refer to section 2.1 of Regulation 704.1AR, Cellular Devices), you will receive monthly supplemental compensation from the district in the amount of $50 for the use of your personal cellular device and you will agree to waive any and all additional communications expense reimbursements.
This agreement must be resubmitted annually prior to June 30!
Option 2: District-owned Cellular Devices
If your supervisor has determined your job or program justifies the use of a district-owned cellular device for the fulfillment of your job responsibilities (refer to section 3.1 of Regulation 704.1AR, Cellular Devices), you must acknowledge that this cell phone or pager will only be used for business purposes and never for personal use. The district is exempt from federal and state tax only when personal use of district-owned cellular devices is prohibited. All district-owned cellular devices are subject to periodic internal audits for compliance. Monthly statements will be reviewed by you and your supervisor.
