Employment Myths: The Contents of Company-Issued Email Accounts are Private

It is common for employees to have company-issued email addresses and computers from their employers -- which has especially been the case during the coronavirus pandemic when many employees are working from home. This raises an important question: should an employee have an expectation of privacy when they use their company-issued computers or email addresses for personal reasons?

Generally, the answer is no. Although employees may feel an employer’s ability to view their personal activities is a violation of their privacy, the fact is that the company-issued email address and computer are the employer’s property, and the employer has the right to monitor the activities in which an employee engages while using them

Ultimately, the best practice for employees to refrain from engaging in personal tasks or communications on company computers.

The common misconception that all salaried employees are not eligible for overtime is a hard one to overcome. Two factors determine whether a salaried manager is entitled to overtime: (1) the amount of the salary; and (2) the primary duties. Focusing on the first requirement – called the salary-basis test -- several states raised the minimum threshold for a salaried employee to be eligible for overtime, effective 2021. Currently the federal minimum salary level is $35,568 annually. That means that “managers” making less than this amount satisfy the salary-basis test threshold and may be eligible for overtime, depending on their duties.

By increasing the salary for overtime-eligible employees, more workers are entitled to overtime. If you are a salaried employee making less than $35,568, or if you live in one of the states enumerated above, and believe that your duties are similar to those of the overtime-eligible, hourly employees with whom you work, please contact SLG.
