Nearly three-quarters of major U.S. firms report that they record and review their employees’ communications and activities on the job, including their phone calls, e-mail, Internet connections and computer files. While employers have a legitimate business interest in tracking their employees’ workplace activities to protect safety, ensure productivity, and even to comply with anti-discrimination laws, employers need to avoid inappropriate and unreasonable invasions of employees’ privacy interests.

This seminar will help employers who find themselves asking:

  • Can I monitor my employee’s cell phone conversations throughout the work day?
  • Can I search an employee’s purse or personal belongings?
  • Can I access their personal E-mail account during work hours?
  • Can I censor my employee’s blog?
