We have an internet and e-mail policy which states that the company accepts use for non-business related activities which should be occasional and, wherever possible, outside normal working hours.  E-mail is also monitored and screened for viruses and dodgy words/attachments etc

I believe this is a fair policy.  Like uberpa says, the company is looking after its security and reputation.  I’m lucky enough to have a PC at home but it’s like some personal telephone calls, some e-mail communication has to be made during the working day.  Trust is a key thing between employer and employee but unfortunately the minority who abuse these privileges can make it worse for the majority.

I don’t think the salesman deserved to lose his existing job.  How can you sack someone for trying to leave?  He should have been given a warning first for not thinking through his actions.
