Employees to be billed for personal Net use?
-
Employees who surf the Net at work could receive a bill each month for the cost of borrowed bandwidth and wasted time if Australia-based Exinda Networks' URL- and bandwidth-monitoring system takes off. Employees to be billed for personal Net use?[^] :wtf:
Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is husband.

If you choose to use it to download illegal software, research personal interests or other non-business uses, then you could be issued with a 'please explain' and a bill for the costs of the bandwidth and time you wasted," Who draws the line, and how far does it go? My regular Code Project breaks are a vital part of my productive day (it's like gathering round my virtual water cooler for a chat). Being able to track eBay auctions through the day is vital to getting a good deal. The odd few hours a week on the BBC site is my only way to catch up on the news seeing as I don't watch TV. All of this is spread over the day, between work tasks. Really... what a stupid idea. I think the managers and CEOs that opt for any such service be struck off as unfit to run a company of people. Training and propper people management should be enough; if people are getting bored on the job give them something to occupy them (I'm a big fan of company games rooms (pool, tv, drinks machine, etc)), or move them elsewhere.

I have to agree with you that most Internet activity is not harmful to the company or costs the company very much money but there are those few people that sit half the day playing games on yahoo and such. It would be great to see their faces when they got that bill. Dale Burmeister

For people like that normal discipline should be used, and if that doesn't work they should be reprimanded for gross misconduct. If they are fired, the employer should be able to recover some costs by not having to pay any wages in lieu.
