Lawsuit....Big Time Law Suit....
No company has the right to "track" your whereabouts on your personal time (weekends / Holidays)...You have a right to privacy (however you also have the right to leave the company phone at your desk when you go home).
I think this will be not only expensive for the company but a good test of how much privacy a person can expect. No company / no manager should be following you around on your personal time.

Love,
Liz

  I think you hit it right on the head, Liz. She could opt to only use the Company provided device, when she was working for the Company. Leave it at her desk, or at home during off hours, and use her personal devices for personal communications.

  As for employment, she works at the pleasure of her Employer, and if she tampers with Company property (the provided I Phone), and does not follow other procedures without some complaints, she is not doing her job, from the Employers viewpoint, and the employer can legally let her go, following that Companies usual procedures for such personnel action.

  Company provided vehicles are often monitored 24/7 by GPS that reports the history, including time of day, exact location, and other information. If personal use of the vehicle is allowed, the GPS continues to track the date, and such date is stored, available for recall for a Authorized person. I would think the same would apply for a provided device, be it a phone, computer, or vehicle.

  Like any personnel action, one would expect some confidential steps be taken for access to off duty hours of operation, and that that info would not be publicly available for any but specifically Authorized use.

Some people are like the 'slinky'. Not really good for much,
but they bring a smile to your face as they fall down stairs.

Maybe your employer isn't as big of an asshole?

There are three kinds of people in the world. Those who can count, and those who can't.

My boss always knew where to find me at lunchtime in Tempe.  ;D  There was a strip bar about a mile from work, and it had the BEST! sandwiches within a few miles.  'Course the scenery didn't hurt any.  He called a couple of times and asked "Are you at that whorehouse again??" to which I replied that I'd be done when I was finished.  That strip bar is now a pizza joint.  >:( 

When I left the company to move out here, they threw me a going-away party at The Library.  Sad to see it closed in 2010... it was heavenly.   And no, the pic below is NOT a joke, and NOT at all unusual for the bartenders and waitresses working there.  The ASU coeds working the bar there make the gals at Twin Peaks here look like yesterday's leftovers.
