is it legal to prohibit phone use at work
Policies. As of April, 2013, no laws specifically prohibit employers from banning or limiting cell phone use in the workplace. Your employer can indeed ban your cell phone from work, but only because of a company policy, not a law.sing your cell phone on the job is a privilege, not a right, however, so abuse of cell phone time could result in the loss of the privilege. Your boss is within his rights to ban your cell phone from work.
