California Ruling’s Impact on BYOD
In partnership with
Cochran v. Schwan’s Home Services
On August 12, 2014 the California Court of Appeals ruled in a lawsuit
on the question of whether an employer must reimburse employees for required uses of personal devices.
The decision has attracted controversy and created anxiety about it’s implications
for Bring Your Own Device (BYOD).
In some ways, the decision has created more grey area than ever.
Questions
• What if the employee has an unlimited calling or data plan?
• What if the employee is on a family plan, or is not paying the bill?
• How will the employee prove and submit work-related usage of the device?

What it means for BYOD
• This ruling does not mean the end of BYOD.
• Rather, a focused eye on tracking and reporting usage through mobile device management.
• Companies need stronger, end-to-end BYOD policies.
• We forecast a transition to ‘stipend’ approach, with tiered reimbursement for levels of required usage.
