Ethcis & Technology | Explain the difference between thin and thick consent


Explain the difference between thin and thick consent.
























Thick Consent:  When jobs are plentiful and the employee would have no difficulty in finding another position, then the employee has a realistic alternative if he or she finds a monitoring policy unacceptable, and consent can be classified as thick.

Thin Consent:  When an employee receives formal notification that the company will be monitoring all email and Web activity. Either at the time of hire or during employment and is made clear in that notifications that his or her continued employment with the company will be dependent on the employee’s agreement to abide by that monitoring.
