Suggestions or comments are welcome. Comments Employees probably have a right to privacy with personal materials on company computers unless there is some understanding with the company that that is not to be the case. As a general rule, the company wants the company computers to be used for the company's business and, other than minimal personal use, not used to serf the Internet, access pornographic sites, send harassing e-mail, or download materials from the Internet that may contain viruses. Form 2.60 may be too much or too little for any individual instance, but it may serve as a good springboard for your own policy on Internet use and access and which rights of privacy an employee may expect, if any. Right to privacy With relatively little effort, an employee may create private password-locked files but the employee should not be able to complain if the employer is able to access those files.
