The phenomenon of globalization that has occurred in the world order provided intense modifications in the social relations, reflecting also in the legal environment. The cybernetic revolution forced the communication media to become faster and more effective, in a sense it is possible to exchange information among distant places throughout the world within few seconds. These transformations reflected in the legal system, once the lack of legal regulation to discipline the new situations emerged from computing, forced the legal community to start paying attention to norm construction, as well as to the formation of jurisprudence, with the intent to prescribe the phenomenon. Cases of dismissal and punishment of employees for undue use of internet and web mail in firms are becoming even more frequent. At the same time that the constitutional rights of inviolability of correspondence and worker’s privacy and intimacy in the labor environment are applied, the management power and the property rights of the employer may not be dissociate from the employment relationship. In the same way that the direction power can not justify the disrespect to worker’s privacy, avoiding the exercise of employees’ liberty of speech, in an authentic abuse of right, the guarantee of fundamental rights can not be used to enable the commitment of irregularities by the employee. In this sense, it will be necessary to examine the circumstances in which e-mail monitoring by the employer will take place in the employment environment in order to determine the legality of such proceeding.
