No allowance will be paid when an employee is in an unpaid leave status. Regardless of who pays the bill, cell phone records about city business are subject to the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. What this means is that if a request were received, the city would be under the obligation to determine what information is public data and what information is private data and would need access to the employee’s phone records and possibly the phone itself in order to provide the data that is being requested.
