My boss in the UK has just come in to tell me that there are new laws which would allow the disciplining of remote staff using their laptops for personal use. Also, for surfing non-work related websites.
Now, I’ve been busy and haven’t kept up with the trade press for a long time, but is the boss correct? I thought that the EU laws were moving towards allowing staff privacy of emails and web browsing?
There maybe an attempt to discipline one of the staff and I should really know this…
Can anyone educate me please?
Many thanks,
John
