COMPUTER INTERNET ACCESS USAGE POLICY
The Town maintains a networked system of computers which have
access to the Internet to assist in the conduct of business of the Employer. These
systems, including the equipment and the data stored in the system, are and
remain at all times the property of the Town. As such, any and all Internet access
shall be performed within the interests of the Town. This shall include the
downloading or viewing of information from the Internet.
Internet access and the downloading of any information should be
limited to the conduct of business at the Town and may not be used for the
conduct of personal business without the prior written approval of the Employer.
The Employer reserves the right to retrieve and review any
information downloaded and locations (web-sites) visited while accessing the
Internet. Please note that even when a location is deleted or erased, it is still
possible to recreate the accessed locations; therefore, ultimate privacy of Internet
access cannot be ensured to anyone.
Locations may not contain content that may reasonably be
considered offensive or disruptive to any employee. Offensive content would
include, but would not be limited to, sexual comments or images, racial slurs,
gender-specific comments or any comments that would offend someone on the
basis of his or her age, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, national
origin, or disability.
Employees learning of any misuse of Internet access or violation
of this policy shall notify his/her supervisor and/or the Director of Human
