If there is another more appropriate discussion group, please let me know! My questions are; Employee A has been given access to the internet from his/her desktop. Does the employer have the right to collect information regarding the sites/times employee A visits on the web, and the right to restrict access to certain sites, as with parental controls.? What (legal) risk is there to the employer regarding any material downloaded i.e. pornography, if no controls (software) are in place.
