personal e mail privacy
As some of you may have read I was suspended from work last September on full pay. Trumped up charge and process for suspension was illegal.
I am to face a disciplinary hearing on Wednesday coming and it has now come out that some of the 'evidence' against me has been found on my personal AOL account.
I was not asked for permission from anyone to access this and am of the opinion that my privacy has been infringed. AOL is not used by my employer and it was my personal account. Password protected. But they have put in a letter to my solicitor that they have been through my personal e mail to get stuff to discipline me with- NOT porn I hasten to add.
Nowhere in the policy from work does it say they can monitor etc and I wonder if I can do anything about this? UK law please. Other countries may be different.
I had work permission to use computer for private use.
