One of the most difficult issues faced by most employers is that of employee misuse of email. If workers are found to be guilty of misconduct by sending inappropriate emails then this can be sufficient grounds for dismissal. However, in many cases, this may be difficult to prove.
If the employer cannot provide sufficient evidence that this misconduct has occurred, then they could leave themselves open to charges of unfair dismissal which could cost them upwards of £60,000
Exchange hosting from Genesis provides businesses with archiving to ensure that there is hard evidence of email communications and this could prove invaluable if the company finds itself in a legal dispute. A spokesperson for Genesis had this to say: “With the climate of compensation culture which we live in, it has never been more important for businesses to cover themselves against the potential threat of legal action. Exchange hosting is packed with features which enable businesses to do this.”
