Social Media Issues for Public Employers: First Amendment and Other Legal Considerations
Social media has transformed the way employees communicate about their jobs and managers. No longer limited to griping around the water cooler, employees now can post negative and unflattering feedback on a variety of social media sites. Moreover, employers or potential employers may become aware of such statements, whether vetting a candidate for a job or monitoring a present employee. For public employers, including commissioners, council members, public officials, managers, human resources directors, and in-house government attorneys, vetting or monitoring of public employees provides unique exposures and risks for liability. In this presentation, we will provide public employers with an overview of the legal and practical considerations when using and considering social media in everyday workplace decisions.
