With its ruling no. 20440 of 12 October 2015, the Court of Cassation declared a dismissal of an employee by an employer lawful, after having ascertained \u2013 based on records from a GPS installed on a company car, as well as on the basis of results from investigations, – that the employee left the company premises during work hours to spend time in cafes or cafeterias to laugh and joke with his colleagues. By thus pronouncing the Cassation confirmed the legality of defensive controls, i.e. controls \u201cintended to detect specific shortcomings and behavior outside of normal working activity as well as illegal\u201d and even more so when the work is performed off company premises \u201cin places where it is easier to harm the interest in the exact performance of a job and the company\u2019s image, without the employer\u2019s knowledge. Basically not every control made by the employer can be considered illegal; there are times when the injured party is precisely the employer, who thus must be able to use the technological instruments at his disposal to protect his company\u2019s assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
