   Not exactly new

   I remember talks about doing this exact same thing 4 years ago. What complicated the whole thing, the complicating being union state employees, what was supposed to happen if the phone rang and we were off the clock? My answer was let it go to voice mail. The union thought we should be on call (a little added cost there...) and answer the phone. Management thought that we should answer the phone regardless without being on call.
   
   In the end, our group keep our existing beeper system. The other group did end up with phones, but they were required to keep them off and in their desk after work.
