Paper Summary:

S.A. McEvoy's article entitled, "E-Mail and Internet Monitoring and the Workplace: Do Employees Have a Right to Privacy?", explores whether the monitoring of employee emails and Internet use is a violation of a person's constitutional right to privacy. This paper analyzes the article and discusses the issue of email monitoring within the framework of constitutional rights.

From the Paper:

"Is the constitutional right to privacy honored when it comes to workplace email? According to Mcevoy, most employees better think twice before sending private messaged at work using company email. Messages sent on most employers' equipment can legally be monitored. Many employers are purchasing e-mail security systems to monitor employees messaging while at work (Mcevoy, 2002). A study conducted by the American Civil Liberties Union estimated that more than 20 million workers in 2000 had their email communication monitored (Mcevoy, 2002)."
