NJ Supreme Court Says Employees' Personal Email is Protected
The New Jersey Supreme court upheld an appellate court ruling that the company Loving Care violated the privacy rights of an employee by accessing her person email records. The court found that, although the employee was at work while using her personal email account, the company did not have the right to access, read, and use the employee's e-mail in its defense against charges of employment discrimination. A lower trail court decision sided with the company, but that decision was over turned by the appeals court and affirmed by the state's Supreme Court.
