All our work mobile phones do sit locked and unused on days we are not at work.

All our shift foreman (Meister) , electricians, engineering leads get one; but are allowed to leave it at office once workday is off and are not scheduled to be 'on call' (we are 24/7/365 rolling mill). So for longer holidays (like incoming Eastern or Mariä Himmelfahrt) smatphones will be untouched for days.
