With the advance in technology, the use of social media as major
communication tools has increased, and this has led to changes in the
workplace, in good ways and bad. In the last few decades, many employees
have been disciplined or fired for their postings on social media. Employers
can legally monitor their employees' social media usage, but with certain
limitations. Generally, employers have the power to fire employees for any
lawful reason –including information obtained from employee's Internet
usage, email, or social media accounts.
It is appropriate and ethical for employers to fire employees who share
information, post contents on social media, or have personal websites or
blog that the employer deems inappropriate, offensive, or reflects poorly
on the company (Workplace Fairness, 2019). It is also appropriate to
discipline or fire employees who visit sexually explicit contents at work.
Depending on the company’s monitoring policy, all private employees can
be fired for their social media postings in the workplace and outside of it.
However, government employees have free speech protections with
certain limitations.
Courts have ruled that employer's interests in monitoring the content of
work emails or company social media accounts outweigh the privacy
interest of employees (Workplace Fairness, 2019). Since company emails
or social media accounts is considered the property of the company,
employers have the right to monitor them without notice to the employer.
This is because there is no reasonable expectation of privacy on company
email or social media accounts. However, there are certain limitations to
private emails or private social media accounts. For example, in Michigan
and Illinois, employers may be liable for violating employee’s privacy
without their consent or for improperly gathering employee information
(Workplace Fairness, 2019). Employees should be aware of the risks of
what they say, share, or post online as it may increase the risk of being
disciplined or fired by their employees.
