While it is true employees have workplace privacy rights, it is
also true that employers have privacy rights. They have the right
to invade your privacy.
Slide 4
Using sophisticated software, hidden cameras, phone-tapping
devices, "smart card" security badges and global- positioning
technology, employers may electronically snoop employee: Computer
keystrokes and files Internet, Web and email usage Locations,
movements and activities Phone conversations and numbers dialed Job
performance
Slide 5
Such monitoring is virtually unregulated. Therefore, unless
company policy specifically states otherwise (and even this is not
assured), your employer may listen, watch and read most of your
workplace communications.
Slide 6
According to the most-recent, often-cited Electronic Monitoring
and Surveillance published by the American Management Association
(AMA) and The ePolicy Institute, most of the employers surveyed
indicated that they subjected their employees to electronic
surveillance in some way, shape or form; for example: 73% monitored
email messages 66% monitored Web surfing 48% monitored with video
surveillance 45% monitored keystrokes and keyboard time 43%
monitored computer files
Slide 7
Advancements in technology, employer abuse or monitoring
systems, and the lack of legislation protecting employees have all
sparked concern for employee privacy. American workers have almost
no legal protection from employers who want to poke or prod into
their personal lives. Few workers realize that there is no federal
law that protects their privacy on the job.
