For a complaint to qualify under the stipulations of the SCA, it had to be an electronic form of communication, the information had to be transmitted through an electronic transfer service, the information was stored electronically, and the information is not public. Upon review by the court, it was originally deemed that all four qualifications had been met. However, it was also deemed that because the co-worker of Ehling had provided the information to the hospital and they were not actively seeking the material, the court ruled in favor of Monmouth-Ocean Hospital. (Adam, 2013) This case set a precedent for future cases, suggesting that if users of a social media platform take the necessary precautions to protect their information, privacy …show more content…
A group of employees felt that they were overworked and underpaid, and took their rant to Facebook to engage in a discussion. The employees posted the following comments about their working conditions: “What the f… Try doing my job. I have 5 programs,” “Tell her to come do [my] f***ing job n c if I don’t do enough, this is just dum,” and “I think we should give our paychecks to our clients so they can ‘pay’ the rent…(insert sarcasm here now).” (Hill, 2011) As with the Ehling vs. Monmouth-Ocean Hospital case, a fellow employee was a friend to the individuals having the Facebook conversation, and shared the information with a supervisor. The supervisor fired all of the employees involved in the conversation, indicating that they were all in violation of the organization’s social media policy. “The judge decided that the heated Facebook conversation did not constitute harassment and that the non-profit erred in de-friending the workers. “Employees have a protected right to discuss matters affecting their employment amongst themselves,” wrote Judge Amchan in his decision, which orders the non-profit to rehire all five workers and make them “whole for any loss of earnings” suffered.” (Hill, 2011) Due to the fact that employees were discussing items that affect their work or working conditions, and that there were multiple people involved, this was a concerted activity, and qualified …show more content…
Many issues have surfaced, including what legal access an employer has to information on a personally owned device. In a recent study, 60% of employers indicated that they currently allow employees to use their personal phones, tablets, or laptops to access company information, or conduct business from the device. In addition, 14% of the respondents indicated that they don’t currently allow such use, but plan to implement a plan to do so within the next year. This new trend, referred to as “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) blurs the distinction of what is acceptable monitoring by an employer. Upon review of the website PrivacyRights.org, an employer can do the following on an employee owned device: “Locking, disabling and data wiping, access to the device, access to phone records or contacts, access to social media or other account username and passwords, monitor GPS and location information, view web browsing history, view pictures, video, or other media, view personal emails, view chat and messaging histories, and limit the use of cloud services.” (Clearinghouse, 2014) To protect both the employee and the employer, it is vital that an employer develop a BYOD policy, which clearly outlines the ramifications of what the employer does and does not have access to. In doing so, if a dispute were to arise

As I found on the website; “www.missionstatements.com” on the healthcare Mission Statement on St. Michaels Hospital on their Slogan that says; “Leading with innovation Serving with compassion”. I found that hospitals on itself rarely care about the emotions of the patience, and only care about administering medicine like a robot, without actual human interaction, as a number, as only one more. I have encounter several situations where for example, I recall I Mexico, my grandmother got sick, and had to be institutionalized in a hospital, he attention to her was woeful. And yet I remember gotten sick also, on my travels to Mexico and gotten the best quality attention that I can expect. At the end depends on luck I supposed.
As a first line of defense, many organizations enforce ActiveSync policies, preinstalled in most consumer mobile devices, to enforce password protection and remote wipe and lock. More sophisticated IT departments may request the installation of additional mobile device management software agents to extend corporate IT reach into any application and functionality of your device. While security and manageability are legitimate concerns for the company, most BYOD programs rely on IT tools that don’t make a clear separation between personal and corporate data and applications. As a result, in case of unauthorized access a real or presumed situation the whole content of the device is more or less likely to be deleted and the device will be unusable. In regards to privacy, from a legal standpoint the fact that the employee owns the device holds no bearing in the event of litigation. As mentioned earlier regarding discovery, the court may require forensic review of all devices in connection with the litigation. An employee participating in a company’s BYOD program may be asked to produce their personal devices for a third party examination. The employee will have to make any personal information stored in the device accessible. This also includes the history of websites visited; songs and movies download and played copies of financial
