title: Use or abuse of computers in the workplace.
abstract: Is your computer system about to become your next liability by the misuse of computers in the workplace? "E-discovery" reveals evidence of harassment, discrimination, defamation, and more. Yet employees also sue when the employer improperly intercepts electronic messages the employees claim were "private." Employers need to be aware of the issues of use, misuse, and rights to properly monitor and control the electronic system. Learn the current issues, legal trends, and practical pointers for your electronic operations.
