Unit 8 DB: Security

Security in the workplace has become a very important topic in today’s society.  This week you will be conducting research online of the legality of employee monitoring in your state.  Post what you find into the discussion board (including the state you researched) and answer the following questions, and be sure to include the links you are referring to! :

• Is it legal for employers in your state to monitor employee e-mails?
• Can an employer monitor employees’ telephone calls?
• Can the employer post video cameras in the workplace?
• Are there limitations placed on certain types of electronic monitoring?
• Explain why you believe these limitations are too much, too little, or just enough?  Discuss possible technological security risks that these legalities help to prevent.
