March 17, 2016: Twenty-three Rotarians were in attendance for Dr. Marsha Kelliher’s presentation about current issues in employment law, entitled “Employers, Employees and Electronics.” Marsha shared statistics and information about issues of employee productivity related to use of the internet for personal purposes (like shopping, pornography, etc.) during working hours and the cost this is to employers. Issues included e-mail, use of GPS and other surveillance devices, drones and micro-chipping. Marsha is the Dean of the Sigmund Weis School of Business at Susquehanna University and is called upon to serve as an arbiter for issues between employees or dismissed employees and employers. Employers are advised to have written and public policies about internet use and employee surveillance. Typically the courts side with the employer IF the employee had no reasonable expectation of privacy. She shared some examples of actual issues that have occurred. Art Bowen was both the host and the greeter.
