DBL: Social media and your rights at work: 8 June 2010
Written by camilla on June 15, 2010 – 2:18 am -You’re home from work, you kick off your shoes, and your working day, along with your responsibilities to your employer, are over for the day. Or so you think. But with the advent of social media and the ‘broadcast yourself’ world of online publishing, your after-hours activities can be more easily tracked by your employer and also leave you open to public scrutiny.
What you do in your own time can get you sacked but the risks are higher in the online world, as demonstrated by the recent case of Catherine Deveny, who was terminated by the Age for her controversial twittering at the Logies.
Tonight on Done by Law we are joined by Zana Bytheway, Executive Director of Jobwatch, to remind us that being facebook friends with your boss may not be a good idea and to shed some light on exactly what you can and can’t be terminated for.
