As far as I know with Philippine Labor Law, it is not legal. Any company
and its management may use of ANY surveillance software / HW technology to
monitor employee activitity just as long as:
1.) Employee(s) are in their pre-scribed work schedule, includes lunch
breaks that they use to surf the net / chat.
2.) AND/OR are in the company premises.
3.) AND/OR employee uses COMPANY Assets (company PC, company DSL
connection, etc.).
I use IMSNIFFER myself to completely record all chat messages of ALL
employees with IM software in the company. If any employee or rank 'n file
does not like that, then they can find another employer who will tolerate
laziness in the company.
