Is it legal for an Employer to monitor Employee Computers (internet, email, etc)?
|
Additional Details
Thanks for the answers, Is it still legal if the Employer does not tell you they are monitoring the systems? I was under the impression that the Employee must be made aware of it.

If the company owns the computers, yes. |

Yes, but they have to make sure that they have a proper policy on what they do and how and why they do it.
Staff (Europe) do however, have some rights of use that have been recognised through the Human Rights Act. You can probably find quite a few examples of case law around. |

Yes. The company owns the computers, and there is no reasonable expectation of privacy by employees. |

Yes, they do it to make sure that people are staying on task and not using company property and time to do their personal business which is usually against most companies' policies. |

Yes. That is why you don't send anything you don't want your boss to read! I try to stick tightly to that rule.... sometimes Y! Answers does me in though... |

Yes it is the companies property |

Yes. Using work computers for personal communication is considered an abuse of the company's resources, and this prohibition is usually stated in the company policy. It is legal for employers to monitor employee computers because they are not the employees' computers - they belong to the company, and any communication they are used for is supposed to be relevant to the company. |

employee internet monitoring

Yes, its fairly legal as long as the the company notify the workers first and addition to what I've mentioned, as long as the computer is owned by the company they can do whatever they want even without notifying. |
