AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 19 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO NOTICE OF MONITORING.

This Act amends the current notice of monitoring law. Currently, an employer must give a one-time notice to an employee that the employer is monitoring telephone, e-mail or internet usage, which notice must be in writing and signed by the employee. This Act changes the notice requirement so that before an employer can engage in monitoring activities, the employer must notify the employee of such monitoring activity. This can be done either by providing the employee with a one-time notice and obtaining the employee's signature acknowledging receipt of the notice, or alternatively, by doing the following: (1) placing a message on the computer screen of any employee who has a computer; and (2) providing an update to a manual or handbook notifying the employee of the monitoring policy for any employer that utilizes a handbook or manual, which handbook update must be acknowledged either in writing or electronically by the employee.
