E-Mail Can Prompt Employment Claims
As the use of e-mails has become part of our daily lives, and part and parcel of the workplace, it is becoming increasingly important for both employers and the companies who insure them to understand and appreciate the role e-mails can play in employment-related claims.
Despite employers admonitions that employees utilize the e-mail system solely for business purposes, many employees view e-mail as their personal communications system. Employees often find it easier to send an e-mail than to pick up the telephone. As a result, employees often assume, incorrectly, that e-mails will not be seen by anyone other than the intended recipient and that once e-mails are deleted, they are gone forever.
