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.
