Internet and email legality


I have recently come across some information regarding emails and the internet damaging business reputation.  You or your employees could be sued or face charges due to improper use of the internet, so it is important to think before you click.

When emailing or using social media, your employees need to make sure that they are not writing inappropriate information that can be shared with others.  According to Gullands inMaidstone emails and internet postings can be used against you legally.  So Gullands would advise you do not send confidential emails, if you need to they should be marked as confidential.

It is important that your employees know that excessive, unproductive use of the internet whilst at work can be seen as gross misconduct and they could be dismissed for this.
