You will find the Information Commissioner’s
Employment Codes of Practice here. They are free to download or acquire
hard copies and it would be well worth suggesting someone in your company reads
them. Part 3 is specifically about Data Protection and Monitoring at
Work.

Subject: Privacy of Emails /
Telephone calls etc
I would like to get your views on the following, I was sure
that there was an EU Directive guiding this
Our company had just implemented an It Usage Policy and as
part of the monitoring process for this policy they specifically state that
they will be
1 randomly opening employees Emails or
listening to their voice messages
2 Using automated checking software to
collect information about employees#
3 Examining logs of websites visited.
4 Keeping records of telephone calls, also
listening to some of the conversation.
the important thing to note is that it specifically states
that this will be done without the employees prior approval and or knowledge.
Your thoughts please
