Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Voicemail termination

An employer terminates an employee. Is it legal for the

company to keep that employee's voicemail message active

after termination (using the employee's own voice saying

'please leave me a message' etc.)? What if the employer

forgets to change the message ... can the terminated

employee sue successfully for unauthorized use of his/her

voice, for misrepresentation of current employment, etc.?

Re: Voicemail termination

It does not appear that you have a claim. The voice mail system belongs to the employer. Your messages will be forwarded to appropriate employee. If you have remote access, change the message.
