This is completely optional. It is not required as a condition of employment, and it is not required to use the BurkesComm app — every employee can log in, send and receive messages, and reset a forgotten password by contacting their administrator whether or not they ever complete this form.
This SMS consent is a separate, standalone agreement — it is distinct from, and not a condition of, accepting Burkes Intelligence's general Privacy Policy.
Employee Consent Form
This is the actual form Burkes Mechanical, Inc. employees use to opt in. It is a separate, optional form — not part of any required paperwork, and not bundled with any other sign-up or account-setup step. An employee may fill it out at any time they choose, or never at all, with no effect on their employment or their ability to use BurkesComm. Completed, signed originals are retained by HR; the employee's phone number is then entered into their BurkesComm account by a company administrator, only after this form is voluntarily submitted.
Supporting Information
Overview
BurkesComm is an internal employee communications app built for Burkes Mechanical, Inc. It is used by employees to receive company announcements and messages, and includes a self-service password reset feature that uses SMS text messaging.
How Phone Numbers Are Collected
Employee phone numbers are not collected through a public website, keyword text campaign, or QR code, and providing one is never required. An employee who chooses to opt in provides their mobile phone number directly to Burkes Mechanical, Inc. using the voluntary consent form above, entirely separate from any employment paperwork or app sign-up step. This number is then added to the employee's account within the internal BurkesComm application by company administrators, only after the employee has opted in.
Purpose of SMS Messages
Phone numbers on file are used solely to support account security within BurkesComm — specifically, to deliver a one-time password reset link when an employee explicitly requests a password reset from the app's login screen. No SMS message is ever sent to an employee's phone number for any other purpose, including marketing, promotions, or unsolicited notifications.
Message Frequency
Messages are transactional and infrequent — sent only when an employee actively initiates a password reset. A given employee may go months without receiving any message, and would typically receive at most one message per reset request.
