Rett:
What is the official policy of the firm?  If you have a policy that
states that all work for the firm by an employee is property of the firm
then you should be able to use that.  Also if you have an electronic
records policy that states that the firm's information is property of
the firm then that should help.  Did the employee sign any kind of
agreement when hired or when given permission to telecommute or when
given the equipment to telecommute that covers firm information?  That
might cover some of it.  Otherwise, I don't know of any law or
regulation that you could use to get the info from the employee.  Of
course, we all realize that his behavior about the data and records is
unethical, but that doesn't get the firm the brass ring!

Hope to never find yourself in this place!  I was wondering if anyone
could
off the top of your head direct me to where I can find something on the
books that involves an employee who asked to be able to work from home
and
was given permission to do so.  During this period, said employee was
given
the use of quite a bit of company equipment including a computer.
Employee
decided to perform much of the work they were paid to do on their own
computer.

 

Employee was terminated for some crazy behavior including threats to
shoot
another employee.  We are trying to get all of the info back off of the
employees computer but they are claiming it is their information since
it is
on their computer.  I should know this right off the top of my head, but
am
at a loss right now.  

 

Jesse and Isaza are not allowed to taunt me about this!!!!!!
