== Policy ==

Cellular telephones may be provided to certain UNMC employees to conduct activities incident to their University employment that either cannot be conducted on a land-line telephone or for which it would be inefficient to use a land-line telephone. Such activities can include improving customer service, enhancing business efficiency, and providing safety and/or security. Cellular phones may be required to be carried by certain UNMC employees who are required to be available 24/7 by their supervisor as a condition of employment. ~~ ~~

Requests for cellular phones, including a statement of the business need, must be approved at the level of a department chair, center director, dean, assistant vice chancellor or above. UNMC cellular phones and service are provided solely through a contract with a wireless cellular contractor through the UNMC Procurement Office; exceptions may be granted by the UNMC Procurement Manger only if coverage is not adequate through the contractor. ~~ ~~

According to the Internal Revenue Service Code, any personal use of an employer-issued phone by the employee may be considered taxable income and subject to withholding taxes. If personal calls are kept to a minimum, the employee is not responsible for any portion of the basic, routine monthly charge for service and plan-allotted minutes. When personal calls/minutes cause the monthly plan minutes to be exceeded, reimbursement for those minutes must be made.
