Only if the company "leases" it to you with a specifically drawn up contract that explains your requirements as well as theirs.
Now as for losing the phone:
Not many co.'s do this that utilize 25 or more phones. Most co.'s have insurance and therefore you're covered so it turns into a mute point.
Yes this would be the employers choice.
no by law an employer can not search your cell phone unless he or she has a search warrant
yes, the employer can post the phone number without his or her permission. but the phone number should be tally with the phone number given on the recruitment kit when he joined. if any changed in phone number might be applied to the employer, then that phone number can be given by the employer. if the employee is not interested to publish the phone number which has given previously as above. then the employee can be given another number by giving request please publish the phone number which employee would like to publish the phone number.
Generally 'laws' do not cover policy regarding employer/employee contact. Some employers require a daily call-in from employees, some require that employees be available for phone consultation when they are off sick. If you feel that your employer's requirements are onerous, you should contact your state employment department for assistance.
Call your phone company and ask for a record of the time and date of the conversation. This proves that the employer called you. Other then that, it's your word against thiers. As my old boss said, always get it in writing, and "whats your exposure?"
If you are on the employer phone I would say yes, but if you are at home on your own home phone and communication with your fellow employee I wouldn't think so. Misconduct only will be if you are on the Company phone and its against the company policy which in some cases it is, the phone shouldn't be used for anything that's not related to that business.
Probably but, if he was to do so he would probably get fired.
yes i need there phone number to contact them
for 7-eleven paperless employee it is 1-800-360-1265
They can't take something that belongs to you, but you should not be making personal calls while on the job. You could be fired for that.
Yes they can. Have you watched CSI lately? But only time they acctually will if there is crime comitted.
Yes, assuming the employer had previously informed you that it cooperates with all law enforcement requests or court orders. If they had not, you may have a small chance of a civil case, but that would be about it.
