Electronic Monitoring And Workplace Privacy

Electronic surveillance and workplace privacy Work privacy is one of the biggest challenges facing companies today. You feel that all the e-mails you are seeing, are being read, and your boss is monitoring all keystrokes. Some people have such feelings, which is why work privacy is a problem for many companies today. Employees feel that they are untrusted or feel that the company violated personal privacy or infringed the Fourth Amendment right.

The two main limitations of workplace monitoring are the Electronic Communication Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA) (18 USC. § 2511 etseq.) And common law protection against privacy. ECPA is the only Federal law to directly monitor the monitoring of electronic communications in the workplace. In 1986 the Congress passed it as a federal wiretapping revision bill. "Eavesdropping" restricts only the interception and monitoring of verbal and wired communication, but ECPA extends these restrictions to electronic communication such as e-mail. See "Do not ignore the law, privacy issues".
