Technology in the Workplace

Sherman & Howard's labor and employment law attorneys work with clients to control risks by reviewing existing technology policies, procedures and practices−and by making changes to ensure compliance with the laws governing the use of technology in the workplace. These policies should clearly state, for example, that no employee may have an expectation of privacy in the use of company-provided technology. Also, for example, it is essential that employers have a record-retention policy that covers the retention of emails, instant messages and other online transactions. The existence of such a policy (supported by a training program) will go far toward protecting employers who are expected to produce electronic records in a lawsuit, even if they are unable to produce evidence in accordance with a request for electronic discovery. Should a complaint be filed, we offer experienced representation on workplace technology issues for administrative and judicial proceedings under federal and state law.
