Re: Company
The company computers and your activity during your hours of employment belong to the Company. The Company is entitled to monitor your activity on the computer and on the premises. Yes, the information obtained may be used to support their concerns. Employers are given deference by the Court about the manner in which they conduct their business, such as by setting up ethical conduct policies.
