Introduction
The policy creates a uniform and clearly defined cell phone reimbursement policy for sound fiscal management. The cell phone plans purchased by the university achieve best value.
Policy Statement
University employees must obtain departmental approval prior to using personal cell phones for university business purposes if reimbursement will be requested. Personal cell phone use for university business should be limited to necessary and immediate business needs. It is the responsibility of the employee's department, college, or administrative unit to monitor cell phone use and reimbursements for appropriateness. Departments, colleges, and administrative offices have the right to review, question, and limit reimbursement requests of employee's cell phone bills.
Employees whose work necessitates a cell phone plan purchased by the university must restrict use to primarily university business. Because using calling or credit cards for personal calls on a university cell phone would still incur usage minutes, incidental personal calls should be reimbursed by employees in accordance with the university's cell phone reimbursement procedures.
