A Guide to Staff Internet and E-mail Policy

Use of the internet and e-mail by staff can be open to abuse.

To protect the efficiency and reputation of an organisation, staff should be encouraged to use the internet and e-mail responsibly. One way of doing this is to have a policy that makes them aware of their responsibilities when using the internet at work or sending e-mails using their organisation’s e-mail account, and the restrictions that apply.

This factsheet outlines what should be covered in an internet and e-mail policy, and highlights the legal and management issues involved.

Employment legislation is complicated and this factsheet is intended as a starting point only. Professional advice should be sought before taking any disciplinary action.
