Facebook Usage Policy

The Facebook Usage Policy is for organizations that permit Facebook access at work but want clear boundaries around when, how much, and on what devices it can be used. It restricts personal Facebook use to breaks and lunch hours, prohibits posting during meetings or work time, and explicitly bars sharing confidential company information on the platform. The policy also puts employees on notice that internet activity on company systems is monitored and that public posts can reflect on the company.

Content guidelines for when using Facebook at work — professional tone, no inappropriate content, respectful interactions — are covered alongside a four-tier disciplinary structure from verbal warning to termination. This is a practical tool for IT and HR managers who want documented acceptable-use guidelines without a full social media program overhaul.
