What employee monitoring policies exist in your state? (Laws might vary from state to state, so use the state where you reside.) Are these policies clearly stated in an employee handbook where you work? What sort of employee monitoring tools do companies use? How important is it for a company to keep its records and data bases safe? Assume you own a small business employing about 100 people. All have access to computers and email and the company network and database. About 20% of the employees are remote or offsite. These employees also access the company network and database. How would you monitor all employees - both onsite and remote? How far would you go?
