Can Your Employer Legally Be a Snoop?

As you’re at work, it is likely you send many emails a day, perhaps even a few personal emails. As a result, employees wonder about an important question: Whether during a break or during your paid time, is it ok for your employer to look through your emails or other correspondence without your permission?

Yet that doesn’t mean as an employee, you are not protected. Employees still have rights, and it is vital that you understand yours.

    I had a great experience working with Steven Sack during my recent job separation. He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to secure additional benefits beyond my original severance package, for which I am truly grateful. Steven guided me through the entire process with clear communication and support, making a challenging situation much easier. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a dedicated and effective advocate!
