When an employee’s personal calls cause the monthly plan minutes to be exceeded, the employee must reimburse the state for those minutes.  Consistent with campus policy on telephone usage, costs for all personal calls (emergency, home, family, etc.) for a reverse cell phone search.  Among those responding, the oldest subjects took significantly longer to respond than their younger counterparts when placing calls, but evidenced no slower response time than the two other age groups when conversing on the phone.  Essential personal calls are defined as calls of minimal duration and frequency that are urgent in nature and cannot be made at another time or from a different telephone.
