“The policy is applicable to all County issued devices, including desktops, laptops, servers, tablets, cellular phones, or any other information processing asset— including any and all devices connected to the County of Lancaster network for the purpose of accessing County of Lancaster data or services.”

So that also means employees who use their personal phones to receive email during off hours or any employee who connects their phone to Wi-Fi.

If there’s two-factor authentication in place it’s virtually impossible not to use your cell phone.

I would expect them to provide cell phones to every employee who needs to use their phone for 2FA or access information outside of standard working hours.

I stopped using my personal devices to access my state email and onedrive / VPN after a co-worker was asked to provide their personal phone records during discovery. Total shit show. Also, frig that, I don't work in my off hours.

You're reading that too broadly. So long as the device itself doesn't connect to the County's network, it's not subject to this rule. So yes, you can still check email on your personal device and not worry about running afoul of this policy, so long as it's not connected to the network.
