Internet and Email Policy

£9.55 Includes VAT

 
This policy sets out detailed provisions for the proper use of Internet and Email facilities within an organisation and form part of the employment terms. The policy also allows the employer organisation to monitor employees' use of the internet, email, PCs, office network and intranet, (as applicable).
 
The Internet and Email Policy is drafted so that a named individual within the organisation has overall control of the policy and serves as a point of reference. This should either be the head of IT or another member of senior management with some technical experience.

This policy is drafted to comply with the following relevant Acts and Codes:

  • The Data Protection Act 1998
  • The Employment Practices Data Protection Code, Part 3
  • The Telecommunications (Lawful Business Practice) (Interception of Communications) Regulations 2000 (TICR)

CompactLaw regularly updates policies to accurately reflect Internet and legal developments.

Clauses in this agreement:

  •  Action taken for minor breaches of policy.
  •  Action taken for serious breaches of policy.
  •  Correct use and storage of usernames and passwords.
  •  Internet and email usage restricted to business use only.
  •  Detailed email etiquette.
  •  Proper deletion of emails.
  •  Restriction on use of third party products and software.
  •  List of file formats, devices and utilities that should not be accessed or downloaded unless directly related to work.

Reasons to buy:

This policy will help to combat the loss of productivity and the expenses incurred where the Internet and Email are misused. It will also reduce the risk of claims against employers, where either the Internet or Email have been used to discriminate against or harass other employees or third parties. As an employer this policy is an extremely cost-effective way to limit your risk of such claims.
