Introduction


It is widely recognised that Email and the Internet is here to stay! Both mediums have become a vital part of business and personal communication in a world that increasingly relies on technology. We understand its benefits and sometimes berate its downsides; too much email Wholesale Ronnie Stanley Jersey , lack of personal communication, spam, the risk of employees accessing inappropriate material and using employer resources for personal gain.


This gain in technology has not come without cost as increasingly employers and employees are being bought to task over breaches of copyright Wholesale Marlon Humphrey Jersey , confidentiality, privacy, discrimination and harassment and in some instances criminal offences (pornography Wholesale Justin Tucker Jersey , obscene and threatening material).


This fact sheet examines ways of measures you can take to greatly reduce and protect your business from legal and other risks.


Recently Monash University reported that email abuse had significantly increased as employees seek to avoid personal confrontation by sending abusive e-mails to those they had targeted or are angry with instead of speaking to them face to face.


This type of behaviour places employers at risk of claims of workplace harassment and discrimination and it is important that you take measures to ensure that this type of activity is clearly communicated as unacceptable to your employees.


By way of example, Biz Momentum undertook a sexual harassment investigation for an employer after an employee complained of sexual harassment by a work colleague. Biz Momentum found that the work colleague had unlawfully accessed 500 different pornographic web-sites over a period of 6 months and at the expense of the employer. The employer took appropriate action.

Here you are taking a bearish outlook of the market.


On the contrary, if you are long on Yen (meaning that you have bought Yen at a price), it means that you are bullish on Yen and expect it to rise further so that you will be able to sell it at a higher price and make money. Day trading foreign currency thus means taking a very short term view of the market and is fraught with risks and possibility of huge capital losses.
