    Default Re: Employee's Right To Use Employer's Software From Home

    You have got to be kidding!

    First, where is legal counsel for the company?

    Next, why doesn;t the wife simply pick up the computer and take it out of the house? Is the guy there 24/7?

    Does she have access to the computer? If so, can she get it online so you can affect changes via the internet? Piece of cake to do.

    The fact he is a shareholder , unless he is somehow contractually allowed the possession of the computer, does not entitle the guy to company property.


    If all else fails, go to the hardware store and buy a 3 pound sledge hammer. Let the wife take it home and kill the computer.

    I would presume preventing the use and access to company files is the ultimate goal, correct? Let the guy deal with the damage, if he feels it was incorrect, after you stop his actions.


    and if the gal is the scared of the guy, she needs to file the appropriate paperwork in court to have him removed from the home or find other accomodations. If she fails to act on this, I would suspect she is pulling your leg. You do not stay in a situation where you are afraid. It is one of the most basic instincts and levels of human behavior to seek safety.

    Getting in the middle of a divorce is not a good place to be. Is this a publically traded company or a closely held corporation? What is your position within the corporation? What type of damgae is being done by the continued use of the PC? Is he an officer of the corporation? Is he still an employee of the corporation? You have made four posts since my first request for the facts and we still do not have them. The BOD should make a written request for the return of the PC provided it is company property.

    It does not sound like you have the authority to request the return of the PC. Protecting the company is the responsibility of the BOD. Making them aware of the problem is the limit of your responsibility.
