Cell Phone Usage Reimbursement

[MeggieC]

If you are reimbursing employees for cell phone usage, what is your policy? Do you have a cap, are only certain people in the organization permitted to request reimbursement, or do you issue calling cards?

This question comes from our LinkedIn group.

We don't reimburse for personal cell phone usage.  Our cell phones are company-issued.  This is because we have strict data security rules and will not permit company email on personal devices.

We used to allow monthly reimbursement up to $70 per month.  But in recent years we have gone away from that policy and told people they have to get a corporate phone.

For us, employees can get a corporate phone or choose to keep their personal cell phone. If they keep their personal phone, they can expense $50 per month but have to get an MDM installed on their personal phones.
