Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Pennsylvania
harasment via the internet at work
what are my rights as far as privacy and my
personal e-mail address when read while at
work? Does my employer have the right to ''trace''
or ''track'' my activity while on the internet? Does
my employer have the right to ''track'' or ''trace'' my
internet activity while i am at home? I believe that
my activities on the net have been viewed by my
employer and a ''trace'' or ''track'' has been made
by my employer while i have been on the internet
at home and not at my workplace. What are my
rights and would this constitute harasment?
What advice would you offer if what i believe is
true and my employer has done something to
raise an eyebrow?

Re: harasment via the internet at work
If you are at work and working on computer equipment owned by your employer, your employer has the right to monitor your work on the computer. If you want privacy in your communications you should not view or compose private communications at work.
It isn't really apparent how your employer is tracking your internet use at home, but if you are working on a laptop or other employer provided computer equipment for work use at home there is an argument that your employer can monitor your use of *their* equipment. If you are using your own computer at home for personal reasons your employer should not be tracking you.
