A Call to Vigilance for Employers: Monitoring Employee Computer Usage As employers, it's important to understand that what happens on company computers isn't only a matter of productivity—it can have serious legal and ethical implications. Many companies overlook this issue: inappropriate or alarming online searches conducted by employees on company devices. You discover that an employee has been using a work computer to search for: ·     Inappropriate content (e.g., pornography) ·     Violent material (e.g., sites glorifying violence or hate speech) ·     Ways to commit suicide or self-harm ·     Illegal activities (e.g., drug trafficking, hacking) ·     Sensitive personal matters (e.g., searches related to serious medical conditions) What do you do? Call us. These activities raise red flags that could lead to significant consequences, including: ·     Legal liability: Employers could be held responsible if such content leads to a hostile work environment or other legal claims. ·     Workplace safety: These searches could signal deeper issues, such as an employee in crisis, who might need immediate support. ·     Reputation risks: Inappropriate use of company devices can damage your business's reputation, especially if discovered externally. This is why it's crucial to have clear policies in place for monitoring computer usage and handling such situations with care and legal guidance.  Ignoring these red flags can lead to costly litigation and damage to your business. If you're unsure whether you or your policies are doing enough to protect your organization and your employees, give us a call or send us an email it's time to consult with an employment attorney.  Proactive steps now can prevent serious problems later. Let's make sure you have the luxury of focusing on your business success!

Employers have legal obligations to implement robust security measures to protect employees' personal information in daily operations due to high potential legal and reputational risks associated with data breaches. Disclosing information about former employees requires maintaining confidentiality and navigating legal boundaries carefully even when pursuing legitimate purposes like enforcing non-compete and non-solicitation agreements. Personal information of the former employee may be disclosed but only to the extent necessary to serve those purposes. Have questions about employee privacy or your current policies?
