Abstract

PISTORIUS, T. Monitoring, interception and Big Boss in the workplace: is the devil in the details?. PER [online]. 2009, vol.12, n.1. ISSN 1727-3781.

This article discusses the opposing dynamics in the modern workplace environment, specifically employees’ expectations of e-privacy and employers’ interception and monitoring of electronic communications. In terms of the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act 70 of 2002 employees must take prior notice of or consent to the interception and monitoring of their e-communications. The article focuses on the extent to which click-wrap agreements and hypertext or XML links to e-workplace policies could meet these requirements.
