Task: Employment Search
City of Ontario v. Sergeant Quon, 560 U.S. 746 (2010).
A search conducted for a non-investigatory work related purpose or for
work related misconduct will be reasonable without a warrant if:
• the search is justified at its inception
• the measures adopted are reasonably related to the objectives of
the search and
• The search is not excessively intrusive in light of the circumstances
giving rise to the search.
Agency Policy which informs employees of diminished expectation or
no expectation of privacy will reduce an employee’s privacy claims.
