Do it on your breaks and on your lunch, they don't pay you to attend to family business.  |

we are allowed personal calls...however who ever is manning the phones that day.....when we get incoming calls they have to take precedence over personal calls..same as me being able to be here while at work..as long as I answer the phone..or if I get called out on an investigation...I have to do that first....my boss ispretty cool  |

Most of the companies I have worked for have had a policy, yet a lenient policy on the matter. As for me, I just never made personal calls at work. I have been working for about ten years and yet I can count on one hand the number of personal calls I have taken, all of them being emergencies.  |

That is why I keep my cellphone turned on and set to vibrate at all times..If my family needs to reach me they can at any time and it can be done without disturbing my coworkers.  |

My husband is in the Air Force and he is allowed to have his cell phone with him. He can make personal calls as long as we dont sit and chat on the phone all day   |

I really never had no problem with it, any employer I have had will tell you, I was stricter about it then they were, my family and friends were told by me, when i am at work, in a store or other business, you do not call except for emergencies, anything else can wait till I am at home, a call at work or when i am relaxing automatically upsets me because I think er, and I hope all resepct that wish, if i needed to call or speak to someone, I did so on breaks  |

no arrangement at my work. They trust us to use our own discretion on using the phone for personal calls. Just how I like it. I don't use the phone that much anyway-- every once in a blue moon to call a friend if it important, or to schedule appointments or to take care of things that have to be taken care of immiediately. We're talking a couple minutes maybe...every two weeks. That's it. I'm a good employee. (of course, it's so quiet in there that they would notice if I was gabbing on the phone all the time).  |

We're allowed to have personal calls at work, but if ppl want to get ahold of me, they can just call my cell phone. I wouldn't want the bosses to be annoyed by ppl calling me for stupid reasons.  |

I think that we're allowed to have personal phone calls as long as it's not too often.  |

Where I work, there is no policy for or against personal calls. It helps that my mom and step-dad are my bosses, lol. The only rule we have set up in the company (its a towing company) is that we use our own phones for personal calls. The office phone and the company nextel cellphone is off limits because that is how we get our business, and we don't want to miss a call because that's money in all of our pockets, lol.  |

In my store personal calls are to be done during your break or lunch unless it's an emergency. I work third so anyone who calls me at that hour of night is obviously an emergency. ~Take Care~  |
