Blackberrys, iPhones, Palms, Droids… the list goes on. Smartphones are becoming a staple in everyday life and in many industries it is virtually expected by your customers that your employees will be able to access their email during the day regardless of whether they are in their office or not. Furthermore, it is often assumed that workers will have access to their email after hours, on weekends, on holidays and even when they are on vacation.

Not knowing much about web hosting, I decided to use Lunarpages to host my business website because my father used it for his projects. I am very happy I did. I remember one instance when I didn’t understand what was going on with my site. I emailed Lunarpages support one time during the night and within 15 minutes, I had a helpful response. It was unbelievable customer service–service I’ve never seen with any company–and I have never had a regret since.
Congratulations Peter! We will be in touch to arrange to ship your iPad to you!

It’s that time of year when Christmas is looming, people are thinking about vacations, tax time, and the endless flood of bills. This is the time we all dream of winning or unexpectedly receiving a large some of money. This month’s Lunar Pick is:
If you won the lottery or came into a large sum of money, what would you change about your life?
Monty - I prefer to stay the same way but may save some in bank.
Shawn – I would change my spending habits. Yeah – they would change for sure!
Roy – If I won the Lottery, I would buy a nice house, invest in something and maybe even buy my own sports bar and grill. But the first thing that I would do is set up a College fund for my nephew and my future nephew or niece.
Greg – Work wise – nothing
Family wise – new home and share with other family members
Community wise – assist feeding and housing those less fortunate
Blackberrys, iPhones, Palms, Droids… the list goes on. Smartphones are becoming a staple in everyday life and in many industries it is virtually expected by your customers that your employees will be able to access their email during the day regardless of whether they are in their office or not.

In the world of employment law there was a time when the claims De Jure typically involved issues surrounding work breaks, lunch breaks, travel time and expenses. Increasingly, however, plaintiff’s lawyers are looking at PDA usage as fodder for their latest claims strategy. We see this issue as particularly important for Internet and technology companies to pay special attention to because the level of employee connectivity tends to rank well above other industries.
The issue involves non-exempt, hourly employees and whether you have established a company policy that requires your employees to check their emails and/or respond to them in their off hours. Such a policy could open your company up to liability for this new brand of employment claim. One solution is not issuing PDAs to hourly employees at all. Another might be altering your employment manual to make it clear that checking and/or responding to emails after hours is purely voluntary and is not required by the company.
Regardless, we expect to see new litigation claims presented on this issue and eventually new legislation to deal with the issue.
