Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Federal Wiretapping Act allows employers to monitor their firm's phones during the course of business, as long as it is for a legitimate business purpose. Interception of oral and written communications without consent is generally unlawful, except in certain circumstances such as law enforcement investigations or with court orders. Personal calls could potentially fall under the exception for legitimate business purposes if it is ascertained that the call is not purely personal. However, monitoring an employee's private email without their consent would likely be unlawful under the Federal Wiretapping Act.
