Inappropriate Email/Internet use

teaguer360

Hi all,

I'm looking for some examples of computer use policies. We have a specific IT policy that an empoyee receives and signs when they get computer access as a new employee. We don't have anything specific in our employee handbook about email or computer use.

It has been difficult to enforce discipline when inappropriate forwards are being sent by employees because we do not catch all inappropriate emails, just some, and therefore we don't want to discipline some for breaking the rules, and not others. But we we also don't have time to monitor all emails being sent.

What is your experience when handling situations such as these, and do you all have any policies that you can share in regard to innapropriate email and internet use?

Thanks, I appreciate any/all suggestions.

We have both an Internet Usage Policy and Computer Policy that I would be happy to send to you.

I appreciate your desire to be consistent, but I don't think you should NOT discipline because unknown others are also doing it. If the employee is violating a policy, he/she needs to be held accountable. Would you not discipline an employee for stealing because someone has also committed theft, but you don't know who? Perhaps, if you started holding employees accountable, they will start complying with your policies.
