(September 20, 2006. Manchester, NH) - Sean Gorman, a shareholder with Sheehan Phinney Bass + Green, spoke about e-mail usage and monitoring at the monthly meeting of the Upper Valley Computer Industry Association. Gorman is a member of the organization.
The presentation entitled, "Big Brother on the Job: Legal Rules on Monitoring Employees and Technology Use in the Workplace," discusses what rights businesses have in monitoring the phone, fax, photocopier, computer, PDA and cell phone usage by employees. To find the right balance, employers should first know what is (and is not) legal, and then determine what is to be done within the limits of the law.
Sean's practice focuses on representation of schools and colleges, employment counseling and representation in state and federal employment-related matters, representation of health care organizations and other non-profits, zoning and land use matters, and intellectual property. He frequently speaks to business organizations and writes articles on topics related to his areas of practice.
