Yep. Some employers want you to receive no calls from anyone unless it is important or an emergency. When her friends call to much it is taking away from her performance at work. Your colleague isn't getting paid to chit chat with her friends. She has a job that needs to been done and she needs to do it.

Yes. Personal phone calls interfere with her ability to do the tasks for which she is being paid. While she can't prevent her friends from calling her (what kind of friends are so selfish as to do that) she does have the ability to hang up or not take the call.
In fact, she has a responsibiliity to do that.

Yes! And with good reason. Your friend is there to work and the more time she spends on the phone, the less work she does. What kind of immature friends would keep calling her at work. Wait until she is on a lunch break to call. But the best thing to do for your friend is call her when she is NOT at work.

Probably, yes. If she's not doing her work because she's chatting then she can be sacked. There might be a procedure in place where she could be given a warning - but if she's on the 'phone loads it might be considered gross misconduct and she could be sacked on the spot.

It depends on her work policy.
You generally cant be sacked without 2 written warnings though

Yes - its called performance management! Unless the calls of urgent nature then effectively you are bing paid for having a chat with your mates!

Ultimately, yes, but it would be a bit harsh in the first instance. He should warn her first, then if it still carries on, he might be justified in sacking her.

yes I should think so, though she should get a verbal and a written warning first. If she's on the phone to her friends all the time she's wasting the company's time and not doing her job.

Yes, as she is being paid for company time and personal phone calls are not business related. This constitutes to theft.
