Using Social Media in the Workplace?

You may think checking your Facebook during lunch is no one’s business, but be aware that more employers have begun adopting social media polices and are even monitoring their employees’ use of social media sites at work, according to a recent survey. 68.9 percent of employers said they’ve created policies specifically for social media use this past year, compared to 55.1 percent in 2011. Moreover, the monitoring of social media use by employers has increased from 27.4 percent to 35.8 percent in the last year. Are you an employee who is concerned their employer is overstepping its boundaries, or are you a company looking to institute a social media policy of your own and want to ensure you are being fair? If so, feel free to call us. Our attorneys have been recognized state-wide for their practice of employment law.
