Policy Against Recording Telephone Conversations

melba

Mississippi allows one party to a conversation to tape-record the conversation without advising the other party. Our company would like to prevent employees from recording conversations for personal use.

Does anyone else live in a state with the same or similar laws and have a company policy that prohibits employees from recording inter-agency conversations?

Your statement regarding MS law is correct. You may prohibit employees from recording conversations on company telephone equipment (including company issued cell phones) without managment approval, preferably written.

Missouri is the same.
