There should be consideration if they're going to email you pay stubs and then give access to your folder to someone else (admins excluded). Just ask people in your company what they want to do. Email is not a secure form of communication by default think of it like a post card, anyone watching as it goes by can see it. If you DID send such information delete it, and don't send that kind of stuff again. Honestly as long as you didn't email your Social Security Number, Credit card numbers, or other such dangerous information I really wouldn't put much effort into this. (or similar) It's best just to leave on good terms and leave anything you did behind you unless they explicitly give you permission to take something. While being on good terms it's unlikely to be an issue, but if things go sour it can be considered stealing company secrets.
Delete clean email account full#
Likely immediately after you announced your resignation IT made a full back up of your email "just in case", perhaps as a small operation they might not have, but most companies tend to have these sort of policies, especially in areas where they have a legal obligation to retain email for a period of time.ĭO NOT COPY EMAILS!!! it's okay to copy a few personal emails, but anything work related is company property that they've paid you for. If your company handles your email you can take the time to clean out personal stuff, but honestly I wouldn't make a huge effort of it. If this is a work email address (not third party) Once the important stuff is all forward you can do house keeping as you see fit.
If there are any questions on what should and shouldn't be forward, it's better to send stuff they don't need than miss what they do. Then trash all emails that are no longer relevant. If your company has it's own email you should forward any work relevant emails to your work email address. If your work email is on a personal account (otherwise they could get in trouble, and you could catch the blame) In all scenarios it's worth taking a moment to ask your employer what to do with these emails, depending on your location and market the company may have a legal obligation to retain your email for an extended period of time. Simply deleting all emails without permission is quite likely to land you in hot water. If there is no clear policy for you, you'll have to discuss this with your HR department and / or your boss. One common policy is (where legally possible) "All mail to the company email addresses must be about work and belongs to the company" - meaning you cannot expect privacy on your company mail account. That's why most bigger companies have policies about the use of company email. The trick is that the difference between the two is not always clear-cut. Clearly private mails (note from your partner, paycheck information) is yours, and you can and should delete them.
