I guess I missed that point too
That is over the top. Policy should allow them to state no cell phones during work hours. But they should not be able to go through your cell phone and search for information. There is no reason to. If they want no cell phones on you while working then there shouldn't be a cell phone. If they want them off, then a simple prove it's off is all that is needed. The only reason this should even be thought of is if they are investigating someone neglecting some portion of thier job to talk on the cell phone.
I think that it would be better to just not have any personal cell phones on company property.
Definitly sad.Agree but the last sentence in your post leaves the door wide open.
Several employees are getting phones in there wifes/others name thus if something should happen a Court Order does not come into play.
Sad huh?

That won't happen.

You want to bet on that ???
Definitly sad.
I guess I should have stated that better. They should actually be doing an official investigation before they even think of going into cell phone records. By that I mean a documented and thourough investigation of an incident, not an employer checking on an employees habits. I can't think of why they would think it should be alright.
Hopefully I said that better

Policy on when/where for usage is okay. For them to scroll through call history is an invasion of privacy.
Sounds like if you want privacy, keep cell phone at home.
Bruh, is the cell phone that BIG of a deal. I would hate to hear/see the lost of someone's life becasue someone was answering or not paying attention to their duties. I see it everyday people not being hands free while driving. And as soon as I come up on an accident I see the cell phone thrown around the vehicle, I'll note it for followup of a suspena of phone records (time)! lease: it's not that serious call me later!!! Just my 2 cents!!!
Can't have a camera phone on site, or your fired. Nor can you have it in the process areas, unless its explosion proof.
With the rules that are in effect...it's simple...I wouldn't bring a phone to work
No Sir. When I get to my destination I have time off before returning to work.

Well when you ARE on the clock, by having one in your possession you take the risk of
your privacy being invaded, or if your caught on the phone...your fired.
I would just leave it in the car or the trunk of the bike.
and that is the rub... The guys that either abuse or are too stupid to babysit their own usage...Appreciate all the feedback.
Amazing the different opinions on this. I will agree that cell phones are abused by some but to demand a cell phone while it is shut off then review your calling history is taking the issue to far.
