Brielle, I am assuming you are talking about nonexempt employees, in which case, anytime they are on the phone doing business for your company, it is counted. You should have employees report phone time on their time sheet on a daily basis. The issue will be, is everyone being truthful, and if you believe not, how to go about asking for their call log on their cell. Hopefully you have a policy in place which outlines when an employee should and should not be using the cell for business.

Since I don't know your business, it's tough to speak to the question more specifically.
