Legal E-Mail and Text Messaging at Work
E-mail is permanent…it is virtually impossible to erase an email or text message. Any communication sent via either method is part of an organization’s permanent record and can be subpoenaed in a legal action against an employee or employer. In addition, e-mail and text messaging are NOT private. Any email sent from an employer’s devices, or from an employer’s servers is the property of that employer. This means that employees should have no expectation of privacy with electronic communication.
