Mmm. One of the potentials that I worked us around was avoiding a local manager and a local HR person working "together" to bypass the procedure. Excessively paranoid, perhaps, but hey - that's what I'm paid for.
-----Original Message----- From: Midgley, Ian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 12:19 To: Exchange Discussions I've just spent the last couple of months doing this so I guess it's all still buzzing round. Apologies. We also elected for minimum HR and line manager approval. -----Original Message----- From: Slinger, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 June 2003 16:09 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Monitor Email content Which happens to be broadly similar to our policy here; coincidentally, I'm rewriting the operating procedure for this today anyway, and we're going to require the signoff of a local HR representative, and a line manager. -----Original Message----- From: Martin Blackstone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 12:00 To: Exchange Discussions First off, anyone who lets a manager dictate reading emails is a fool. This type of stuff has to come from the top down. As an example here, any email monitoring has to be approved by the CEO, who in turn passes it on to HR, then to me. At that point I do the configuration and then let whoever needs it, at it. -----Original Message----- From: Midgley, Ian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 8:55 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Monitor Email content I'm not confusing my opinion with established law. Give me an example of anywhere in the world where the scenario I outlined below would be legal? -----Original Message----- From: Slinger, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 June 2003 15:51 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Monitor Email content "The emails might be the companies property but who is allowed to read them is a different thing altogether." Don't confuse your opinion with established law. This is a whole mess of "it depends". -----Original Message----- From: Midgley, Ian [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 11:46 To: Exchange Discussions Wow. So if a manager comes to me (Exchange admin) coz she dating a bloke in the typing pool and suspects he's two timing her and asks if she can read all his mail then it's ok for me to let her? Can I read his emails at the same time? What's my defence when he files a claim against me for emotional trauma when both his girl friends dump him? I just don't want to go there. The emails might be the companies property but who is allowed to read them is a different thing altogether. -----Original Message----- From: Chris H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 June 2003 15:38 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Monitor Email content not in the US . . . courts ruled a while ago that email is company property. A policy is good if you want to be *nice* but it is not required to read employee email . . . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Midgley, Ian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 23, 2003 7:10 AM Subject: RE: Monitor Email content > Before you start looking at your users mail ensure that you have an > email policy defined and that all your companies employees know what > it is.
