Computer Policy
This Computer Policy - otherwise known as an Email
and Internet Acceptable Use Policy - sets out the rights, responsibilities and limitations on the use of
organisational internet and email facilities in the course of employment.
Employers must make sure that any monitoring
or recording of personal emails or internet use takes place with
employees' knowledge and there must be good reason for doing so
otherwise employers could be in breach of the Human Rights Act.
The policy covers
internet activities such as blogging and instant messaging, the potential
pitfalls of using email and the actions required of staff to ensure
compliance with data protection regulations and the avoidance of security
breaches and software piracy. It also includes the option to restrict
internet and email usage to business use only or to allow personal use
outwith normal working hours.
Employees should sign a copy of the policy to show that they have read
and understood it to prevent any claim that they have not seen or understood
the policy if a problem arises.
The computer policy is suitable for use in
England, Wales and Scotland and covers the following:
- personal use of company email and internet services
- downloading files
- installation of software
- virus protection
- password security
- monitoring
- confidentiality
- copyright
- prohibited use
- disciplinary action.
