“Can we monitor employees’ email?”

“Can we monitor employees’ email?” Clergy Financial Resources has this brief answer here. The first paragraph gives the general rule:The short answer is yes, you can monitor employee email. As a general rule, employees should not have an expectation of privacy when using the church computers or email accounts. That said, the law is not perfectly cut and dry, so you should have both a legitimate business reason for doing so and a policy that puts employees on notice that you do – or could – review their email.
