Title Privacy at Workplace: Monitoring of Electronic Communications
Summary The thesis analyzes under which conditions employer could lawfully monitor employee’s electronic communications. The analysis is based on comparison of three jurisdictions: Council of Europe, Canada and USA. It covers legal preconditions for protection of employee’s digital privacy, peculiarities of judicial application of reasonable expectation of privacy test in each jurisdiction and tries to deliver employer’s standpoint toward workplace electronic surveillance. The thesis shows that the existing balance between employees’ and employer’s interests is far to be fair. While employees in USA are almost deprived of privacy rights at workplace, in certain cases of Canadian jurisdiction employers’ interests are completely neglected in favour of employee’s privacy.
