There is a question running around my head - and a lot of contradictory
answers and chasing it !!!!
I have an email box with my employer -- is my email box private ??
are my emails private ?? If I was on holiday and my manager wanted access
to my emails for an urgent business need can he look in my in box ? and the
same questions apply for the H drive.
There seems to be unwritten rules that the mail box and the H drive are the
temporary property of the person logged in ..... but ultimately the system
belongs to my employer doesn't it ... so ultimately can representatives of
my employer i.e. my manager go into both places to search for documents ???
Of course we have policies and procedures saying that the email system must
be used in the interests of the company, and we have shared drives so that
individuals save work where other people can get to them ..... but of
course they still used the H drive
In part 3 of the Code of Practice from the ICs office it talks about
employees putting the word PRIVATE in the subject of the mail and then
employers cannot open it ..... but wouldn't that be abused !!!
And can anyone point me to the "written word" about this ????????????
HELP !!!
