Not a problem
If you need to take care of some personal business that you did not want to share with your employer then you could always turn the phone off. Batteries do go dead and there are dead spots in service areas. The service provider cannot guarantee that someone can locate you at any given time due to the nature of the service. If are slacking off frequently so that having your phone turned off would look suspicious then perhaps your employer should let you go.

If it is your personal phone then don't allow them to track you at any time. If they are not paying for it then they have no right to know.
