Employers have the right to monitor their workers’ online private messages, according to a ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). It comes after a Romanian man was fired for sending personal messages while at work. The Strasbourg court sided on Tuesday with the employer of a Romanian engineer who was dismissed from his job after using Yahoo Messenger to communicate with his fiancée while at work. During his time as an engineer, Bogdan Barbulescu was asked by his employer to create a Yahoo Messenger account to answer his clients’ queries. However, he was informed in July that he had breached company rules by using the program for personal reasons, and was subsequently sacked. Barbulescu took his case against Romania to the human rights court later, alleging that his employer’s decision to end his contract was based on a violation of his right to confidential correspondence.
