March Madness at Work: labor & employment attorney Audrey Mross says bosses should think twice about trying to block workers taking it to the 'net
Pity all the bosses out there trying to clamp down on employees surreptitiously watching the March Madness NCAA basketball tournament. No longer a cable TV phenomenon, March Madness tournament coverage is now just a mouse click away on computer screens or streaming from any smart phone. Audrey Mross, who
heads the Labor & Employment section at Dallas' Munck Carter, reports that companies taking a hard line on employees tuning into the coverage should consider they may be fighting a losing battle. "Some employers have tried to ban web-watching, labeling it as a nonproductive activity," she says. "Increasingly, however, many employers are subscribing to the ‘If you can't beat ‘em, join ‘em,' theory, and are using the tournament to promote team spirit and to have some fun at work." To interview Ms. Mross about March Madness in the workplace, contact Mark Annick at 800-559-4534 or mark@androvett.com.
