William Perkins Quoted in Business Insurance
"Workers' Misuse of Web May Create Liabilities"

William Perkins was quoted in the October 12, 2009 issue of Business Insurance in the article, "Workers' Misuse of Web May Create Liabilities." The article reported on the growing liability exposures associated with employees' misuse of the web. According to the article, as concerns grow about the prevalence of child pornography on the Internet, employers can be held liable for employees who view this material using company computers. The article also mentioned that a company policy covering this is important. Bill noted that employers should be sure that any policy that is developed is followed. He further noted, “The best evidence for a plaintiff attorney is for a company to have a policy that's not followed.” He also pointed out that an Internet usage policy that is not followed is almost as bad as having no policy at all.
