Every company whose employees have E-mail access should include E-mail use in its human resources policies. This policy should include the employer’s right to monitor E-mails, be signed by the employee, and retained in individual employee records. Additional tips employers should consider are including E-mails in document retention programs, limiting information in E-mails to facts rather than exaggerations, speculations and insults, and having in-person conversations to discuss sensitive situations.
