Any valid reason I can't use my personal mobile for work??? Help!!!

Hi... I'm about to start a new part-time job alongside childcare and some freelance work... lots of it is very flexible working and I'm very keen to be able to use my own phone, rather than carry two phones, when I'm out and about (for important clients, etc)... in the past, I've done this with work footing their proportion of the bill. It makes my life much easier - especially as Im someone who likes going out with just a phone and keys when I'm off duty.

My new employer isn't keen and say that its because of health and safety, and legal reasons...

And I promise I don't let it impinge on my work/life balance - in my downtime, I don't take regular work calls, just the really important people Ive been trying to get through to...

Anyone got any advice? Any reason really why this wouldn't work??

here it is The make is Huawei - only problem with this model is you can't have 2 sim cards and a memory card.

There were some tax changes that came into affect a couple of years ago - could be that the firm aren't set up to deal with the complexities www.gov.uk/expenses-and-benefits-mobile-phones/what-to-report-and-pay

I'm surprised they are letting you use your own laptop but not your own phone. They should have some data loss prevention in place - all our work laptops and phones are encrypted so that if they are loss the company data can't be accessed and we can remotely wipe phones.

I hate having to carry around two phones but I know that come 5pm The work phone is switched off and I'm off the clock

I am in the UK and have a Lenovo dual SIM phone - it's fab.

Work email notifications are switched off outside working hours
