[quote=Anonymous]I work at a staffing agency. I noticed an employee I supervise was browsing job postings while at work. His computer is synced to my iPad via the company's Apple ID. So, I can basically see his internet browsing history.

I called him into my office and asked him about it. He didn't directly admit to it, but said that he was doing research for a client on job postings in their area. I know this is a lie because he LIVES in this area and was searching for his exact job title. His client lives in a different area. I informally reprimanded him, saying it was in poor form to do this and to please do his job searches from home.

He went to HR and made a retaliation complaint. He said I have no right to dictate his internet usage, that I have no proof he was looking for himself. He said there's no policy in the internet usage agreement that it can't be used for personal browsing on lunch breaks. That being said, I have proof that he was submitting job applications based on web pages he's visited.

HR wants to meet with me tomorrow morning. Do I have any defence here or am I screwed? [/quote]
