Cellular phones may be necessary for an employee to meet the demands of their job at the university. With appropriate business need and departmental approval, a monthly allowance for cellular phone service will be added to the employee’s pay. A cellular phone allowance is granted per the following criteria as outlined in the Cellular Phone Policy:

• Job function requires considerable time outside of assigned office or work area and it is essential to the university that the employee be accessible during those times.
• Job function requires continuous accessibility beyond scheduled or normal working hours (i.e., on-call responsibilities for critical university services).
• Job function requires access to email outside of the office or beyond normal scheduled working hours and it is essential for the university that the employee has the ability to receive and send email during those times.

If you determine that an employee qualifies for a cellular phone allowance an ePAF recurring payment request must be submitted through PantherSoft HR Manager Self Service.
