I have an iPhone 5s (for personal use) and an iPhone 5 (for work). Since upgrading both iPhones to iIOS 8, both my personal and my work iPhones ring when I receive a call on my personal iPhone. How do I change the settings on my work iPhone so that it only rings when I get calls directly to it and my personal iPhone so it only rings when calls are made directly to it?

I would have never guessed the setting in question is in the FaceTime area. Thanks, FoxFifth!
If you have a problem where incoming calls are picked up on multiple devices belonging to different people... On all devices: Go to the settings, Face Time then uncheck the number or email associated with the other persons iPhone, iPad or iPod. This will allow you to answer the phone on your iPhone or iPad but the other person will not receive the call. Hope this helps
Thank you very much! Like Stanley said, I would have never thought to look at FaceTime.
Thank you!
I was in this setting and had deselected the opposing number and email, which didn't fix it. I called Verizon and they said I would have to create separate apple ID's which would have really made me angry. One quick search popped your response. Thanks so much!
Fixed...
I had done this and it didn't fix it.
2 iPhones running IOS 8.0.2 on Verizon.
Except FaceTime is not turned on on any device I have...
I don't believe it has to be. Check the Cellular Device setting.

I have seen other reports of that since iOS 8.2 -- turn Settings > FaceTime on which will allow you to access the "iPhone Cellular Calls" option in Settings > FaceTime so you can turn that off, then turn Settings > FaceTime off again.
Thank you, this helped me as well, cannot recall having turned the service on but solution is easy to sort out.
I have a 5s for personal use, and I have a 6 for work, and an Ipad. All are on IOS 9.0.2, and Im getting calls on each. I've tried going to facetime to shut off the calls on multiple devices but the option is not there. Any suggestions?
That option has been moved, it is now in Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices
