Employee property manager - own phone or company phone

[Stone Teran]

I self-managed my apts for years but it's time to hire a property manager (as a w2 employee). My last short-term property manager used her personal cell phone but she didn't pay her bill and then left the company and left me in a bad spot. My inclination is to purchase a company cell phone and have them carry that and if they leave it goes to the next person. The other option is a forwarding number to their personal cell phone (and I pay their bill?). Give me ideas. I have 227 units. Thanks.
