The issue of privacy can emerge in case of an employer monitoring an employee’s activities electronically at the workplace (Clarkson, Miller & Cross, 2016). This is because in case of using a company e-mail system by an employee, the privacy of the conversations will be compromised as the employer has every legal right to monitor/keep a record of all the e-mails sent and received by the employee. The employee cannot have any legal/reasonable expectation for maintaining privacy by the employer because the e-mail system will always be provided by the employer.
