Report Link Employers Taking Notice of Networking Web Sites.
Elarbee, Thompson, Sapp & Wilson, LLP. - September 28, 2007
Employers are fast becoming aware of social networking websites such as MySpace and Facebook. These websites are forums where individuals post pictures and facts about themselves and communicate with others. While employees may use these websites during non-work hours, the things they express on them may have significant impact on the work environment. Employees engage in discussions over these websites as if they were confidential forums; however, unless marked private by the creator of the account, they are public to anyone who chooses to view them. For this reason, employers should be cognizant of these websites in drafting fraternization and non-harassment policies, among other company policies.
