This policy also recognises that employees may want to use email for personal use and therefore encourages the use of web based email systems to avoid organisation email accounts being used for personal purposes. This policy allows the employer to monitor use of resources. This policy still prohibits employees from accessing unsuitable websites or services at any time.
