Does this need to be in the form of a logon banner? Could it be in the policy that employees sign when they start work for our company?

I know that by law we must present users notice about monitoring and such, but which law? Which legal precedents mandate login banners? I was under the impression that it was part of the DMCA but I cannot find any information other than "by law" ... Any pointers would help greatly, my attempt to STFW has come up with zilch.
