In a recent tribunal ruling it was outlined that an employee spending less than an hour during work browsing properties or shopping online was not a sackable offence.  They key learning from this outcome is that there were no policies in place detailing limitations of personal use of the internet during work hours.  It was also found there had been no history of performance issues although the employer had fabricated evidence to the contrary.  At Atoll HR we ensure our clients are protected from similar situations, if you would like to find out more get in contact with us.
