"If surveillance or monitoring of communications use is to be carried out, the reasons and purposes for which this will be undertaken must be made clear to employees."
Bit of a carte blanche IMO.
Suppose the issue is who own the data. If it resides on a company server, the company owns it.
That is not unusual procedure in some companies and roles.
I worked for a company in the US (bank) who sent a member from HR down at 3.15pm to ask a girl up for a meeting at 3.30pm. When she left another HR person came down, cleared out her desk and I never heard or saw from her again.
I think that the high handed escorted off the premises procedure has nothing to do with security and more to do with the employer wanting to make a statement to the remaining employees.
They even had to force her to take her vacation days.
In my old company, I know one guy who lied about where he was going (said it was a competitor and it wasn't). He was very dissapointed to find they didn't think he was "important" enough to frogmarch!!
Really? Under what legislation?For the post above, in financial services it's a legal requirment to take 2 weeks holidays together every year. It's not enforced but it's there all the same
I tought i was better to resign then be fired. The second I said id resign rent a cop was called and i was walked out. How ever they refused to pay me my holiday pay and other bits n pieces. They failed to relises I had all the passwords for all the mail and file servers and eveything else in my head. I had also begun porting the mail over from CC mail to outlook. A week later the called looking for it. I asked about my money they said no... I said i was having memory problems from the stress of it all. They didnt budge.. In the end it cost them about 100K (UK) not to mention penalties for not delivering service to thier clients, to fix the problem and 6 weeks. My holiday pay and other monies were about 2 grand.
You would have to wonder about the morality (not to mention karma) issues attaching to causing so much damage to one's ex-employer.
Do people really believe in such superstitious rubbish?Agree that Karma has a funny way of biting you on the backside when least expected.

(3) The annual leave of an employee who works 8 or more months in a leave year shall, subject to the provisions of any employment regulation order, registered employment agreement, collective agreement or any agreement between the employee and his or her employer, include an unbroken period of 2 weeks.
I can understand if there is a company policy on this but I was curious about the assertion that there was some law governing this. The post above suggests that there is none.I worked in Finance a a good few yeasr ago and we all had to take 2 clear weeks off - this was made clear to you when you starte.
