Assumption College will not pay for any cell phone equipment or related service plans. The individual in the authorized Assumption College cellular phone usage position will be responsible for choosing and paying for cellular phone equipment.

Cellular phone service will not be purchased by or directly invoiced to Assumption College. All costs related to the purchase and usage of the cellular phone is the responsibility of the employee.

The monthly stipend is a taxable reimbursement.
