If someone you work with
was arrested for doing inappropriate things via a home computer do you think they should be made take a leave of absence until case is settled?

Re: If someone you work with
I dont think so, unless that act was being done at work or was affecting the work environment and/or some one in the workplace

This is my immediate reaction, as well.

No b/c technically you are innocent until proven guilty.

I think any company that does that is just ASKING for a lawsuit.
Technically the company shouldn't know about it unless the employee missed work or something.

Re: If someone you work with
I never worked in HR so I don't know the legalities...
I think it would depend on what it was. If the employee was cyber stalking another employee, then yes, I'd want them removed until proven innocent. I just wouldn't feel safe. If they were looking at inappropriate pics of children or something they are entitled to their day in court, as repulsive as I find it.

I agree with Lauren...unless somehow the person sent innapropriate or threatening emails to the workplace FROM their home PC....depends on the situation, really..

Re: If someone you work with
If they were soliciting minors or looking at child pornography YUP, I think they should. Whether or not it's against the law for a job to fire someone for that reason makes no difference to me. I certainly wouldn't want to work with someone like that.

Re: If someone you work with
I've seen similar situations at work.
Innocent until proven guilty. Unless they were using their workplace to commit the crime, I would suggest keeping them employed.
I don't know that anything would preclude the workplace from turning over the employees work computer to the police.
Even once convicted & time served, you can't discriminate unless the crime is specific to the job, ie embezzling & working in the finance industry.

Re: If someone you work with
i think this is a touchy subject... yes everyone is innocent until proven guilty and thats all great and everything... but if it was a known sex offender, creepy person, etc .. i m sure none of us would want to sit next to them all day .. u never know who is out there... technically the company cant do anything but I would be freaked out in certain situations....
