So I had a client presentation to do. Client sent me a number to conference call into. Work provided me with a regular office phone to use will working from home, but I decided to set up in my living room and prefer to use the VOIP app for calls. However once I started I realised it was interfering with my VPN presentation quality, and I was worried about dodgy reception - so I decided to use my own mobile instead. More reliable signal that way.

I got a phone bill that was a whopping $100 more expensive than it normally is. I looked up why and it's because that call was a tariffed number.

So, in a nutshell: my personal phone number was charged an extra $100 for a work call, but to be frank it was my own doing. Technically I had the capacity to make the call using the work equipment, but it wasn't ideal for the setup and I didn't want a tech issue to interfere with the presentation.

So who should pay for it?

I'm not asking for legal advice here and I don't even really know where my contract stands on things like this. Part of me thinks this is entirely on me and the other part thinks...actually no, this is definitely a business expense, albeit an unaccounted for one.
