Practice question
A civil-service agency receives specific allegations that office computers are being used for unauthorized outside work. A written policy informs staff that official computers may be monitored, the equipment is shared, and investigators inspect work-related files to assess the allegation. An employee asserts that any employer search without a criminal warrant necessarily violates privacy. Which is best?
- A criminal warrant is always required for every employer inspection
- The analysis includes the employee's reasonable expectations and the work-related search's justification and scope
- Any allegation permits searches of every family member's home
- The policy allows publication of all personal information
- Government employment abolishes privacy everywhere
