The writers discuss Canadian legal issues relating to employee e-mail and Internet use. They argue that increasing use of the Internet and e-mail in the workplace has created complex issues relating to the potential liability of employers due to the improper use of these technologies by their employees, and to the privacy of employees, and that these need to be addressed by all employers.
