		</div><p>European employees may find themselves under scrutiny during work hours following a recent ruling that allows companies to monitor workers online communications.</p>
<p>The ruling was made by the European court of human right (ECHR) in a case about a Romanian engineer who was fired for communicating with personal contacts such as his brother and fiancée during working hours.</p>
<p>The engineer argued that his employer violated his right to confidential correspondence by accessing his private messages.</p>
<p>However, the judges found in favour of his company stating it was not “unreasonable that an employer would want to verify that employees were completing their professional tasks during work hours”.</p>
<p>Transcripts of the engineers communications were also used in court as evidence that he used his company computer for personal reasons, something that is prohibited by company policy.</p>
<p>The ECHR’s judgements are binding in all European countries which have ratified the European Convention on Human Rights.</p>
