The New Rules of Email: How to Prevent Liability and Manage Records

Email is more legally dangerous than ever. In recent years, email mistakes have triggered million-dollar jury awards and media feeding frenzies. The maze of employer rules and responsibilities relating to email content, monitoring, record retention, policies and best practices is staggering.

• When is it illegal to monitor employees' email?
• Do you have to pay employees for time spent writing job-related emails at home?
• When (if ever) can you legally delete employees' archived emails?

Don't leave your email management to chance.

Nationally recognized email expert Nancy Flynn, founder of The ePolicy Institute, will walk you through the best-practices strategies to manage email rules, records and regulations in The New Rules of Email: How to Prevent Liability and Manage Records.
