    Perhaps not so much the contract, but more
    specifically in the employee handbook or policies.
    Where I work, and at places I've seen, we've got a
    consent to monitoring statement produced by HR. All
    employees are required to sign a statement that
    they've read and understand the statement.

    Regardless, if the boss tells the sysadmin to install
    the software, the legal ramifications become an issue
    for the boss...not the sysadmin. The sysadmin may ask
    the boss if the legal ramifications have been
    addressed, or may even protest or quit. But in the
    end, it's the boss's issue.

    If the employee knows it's there, then it isn't
    covert.
