Popis: | The use of the Internet and email in the workplace adds new issues to the traditional contrast between employers and employees. The employees' expectations of electronic privacy collide with the employer's need to monitor the workers' online activities. An electronic privacy policy can help in striking a balance, but it may not be sufficient. The aim of this paper is to analyse the legal and ethical problems arising from this daily contrast. In particular, the paper deals with three basic questions. Do employees have a right to use the Internet and email in the workplace for personal reasons, and if so, to what extent? Can the employers legitimately monitor the employees' Internet behaviour, and if so, how, under what conditions, and to what purposes? What are the employees' legitimate expectations of online privacy in the workplace, and what legal remedies are they provided with? |
