A California Court of Appeal recently held that, under California Labor Code § 2802, employees who must use personal cell phones for work are entitled to reimbursement for “some reasonable percentage” of the personal cell phone bill.  The holding states the current law in California that employees who use their personal cell phones for work are entitled to get reimbursed for the portion of the expense associated with using the cell phone irrespective of whether the employee has incurred additional charges for the work use, whether a third party has paid the bill, or whether the employee has changed plans to accommodate work-related cell phone usage.  (Cochran v. Schwan’s Home Services, Inc. (2014) 228 Cal.App.4th 1137). The California Supreme Court denied the petition to review the Court of Appeal holding in November 2014 making this as the current law in California for reimbursement of employees’ expenses by the employers.
