At massage spa the boss forbids the staff to carry cel phones as it distracts clients who are sleeping while having body massage and it is not professional for a staff to talk on the phone while doing facial to a clients.

the main reason why people go to have spas is to relax isn't it??? then i think that using of cellphones by staff during work hours should be limited if not prohibited...

The boss is correct. I'm surprised the staff would carry them to begin with. At a minimum, the phones should be kept on vibrate and used only when they are out of ear shot of the clientele. If someone pays for a massage, they deserve the full undivided attention of the masseur. A masseur yacking away on a cell phone during someones massage is insulting.

They should keep their cell phones on SILENT. If there is something important, they can answer and take the phone outside (not in the spa and resting areas).
If it is not important they can call back during breaks or when there aren't any costumers.
It IS actually distracting and not professional, not only in SPAS but especially at such places.
Imagine a waiter tending your table and his cell phone rings.
Imagine a cashier is tending you and his or her mobile rings.
& So on..
(I am not saying it's not hard on the employee.. it actually is, but that's the way things are.. and I believe the boss is right).

Nor H,
Believe it or not I use my Cell phone when I NEED to make a phone call. Most people using Cell phones don't NEED to be making calls at all.
In my opinion using a cell phone on the job is wrong. It's simply another form of screwing off. This hurts the Employer in the long run. Cell phones should be used only on breaks and off duty. After all how can you do your job if your are always talking on the phone.

no, it is not bad to forbid staff using cell phones at the spa or any other place of business. Staff is being paid to perform a service. Taking non-emergency personal calls, cell phone or landline, is a form of stealing from the employer. Employees are paid to work, not chat about tonight's date or vent to friends about last night's date

I think that's absolutely fair. They are being paid to work, on their own time and breaks they can use their cellphones.
Cell phones carry tonnes of germs, I would not want my masseuse to stop answer their phone and then come right back to my body.

The Boss is right. I find a ringing phone,
and chatter to be very distracting.

absolutely it is appropriate - clients do not pay to hear what someones friend said about someone elses new boyfriend. You are at work to work - if there is an emergency I am sure you could be contacted through reception.

Cell phones should be kept in your purse or in your locker and OFF. You can check them at your break or at lunch, It is DEFINITELY rude to do otherwise.
