Summary/Abstract: With the increasing dependence on the Internet in both personal and professional life, the matter of using Internet for personal reasons at the workplace has become an important issue for companies. Thus, companies have started to consider the private use of the Internet as a threat for their organizations and to minimize the potential risks they started to limit the Internet access and/or monitor employees behavior through the Internet and this approach has become the part of work life for most of the organizations. This paper focuses on the issues of employee monitoring, its ethical implications, the motivations behind it and its legal aspects in relations with the right of privacy.
