the proper answer would depend upon the circumstances. did the cell phone get used while the person was working for the employer ? did the cell phone conversations 'connect' to the employee's work ? what were the cell phone conversations ? what was the evidence set forth therein which demonstrated that the sorority schedule was not being followed ? please call if we can help. ed dimon, esq. 732-797-1600
