Question:
"Are we entitled to restrict the use of personal mobile phones at work?"
HR tip:
Indeed you are. If used for private calls during work hours, the employee is being paid for being unproductive and the call may well disrupt other employees. You are perfectly entitled to ban mobile phones from the site. If this seems too draconian, insist that they be switched off during work hours, and used only during break times or at other times only with a manager's permission.
