In the case of an organization that deals with the well being of children, even with thorough background checks performed it may still be necessary to monitor the employee's website usage or set up surveillance cameras in designated areas. Hillside, Inc. is a company that assists abused and neglected children and has a policy that any Web site an employee visits could be monitored. The company found that pornographic websites were access on its computers during off hours and set up surveillance cameras in a shared office in hopes of catching the perpetrator. The employees sharing the monitored office filed a lawsuit claiming their right to privacy was violated. Initially, a judgement was ruled in favor of Hillside, Inc. However, after an appeal by the plaintiffs, the ruling was overturned.
Workplace privacy is not a matter of whether or not an employee will be monitored because...
