The message reads:
Hey team, it’s important that your work cell phones go back-and-forth with you to work in home when you leave for lunch, etc. It’s important to be able to be reached if the need arises this will be especially true once we implement work from home days. Any questions let me know .

I don’t. I don’t carry it at work and it won’t leave my desk. I’m help desk in a school. I don’t travel. I’m not on call. My hours are what they are. And while my employee file says where I live, you’re not going to have the potential to pull up my location or anything. Nothing. And you certainly won’t reach me at lunch.
My boss and coworkers have my personal number and all their notifications are purposely muted.
How do I address this? How do I make sure I’m paid for this time? Cause I don’t manage much less keep track of tech or phones for free off the clock. It’s why my work phone stays here on my desk.
