"online services or accounts"

That's actually a little tricky when it comes to SaaS - if an employee set up the PagerDuty / S3 / Basecamp / what-have-you account under their own name it might be slightly awkward to take the account over should they leave the company.

Not a huge deal - with discipline, those services should be set up using a company-specific account - but it does suggest that SaaS services should make sure they provide a "transfer this to another user" feature.



I'm sure some lawyers will be happy to draft yet another section to your already long and incomprehensible employment contract to deal with this situation.

And even more happy to draw a lawsuit out for months when a disgruntled ex-employee refuses to hand over the password for such a service with reference to this law.

But, hey, there are several single pieces of anecdotal evidence, certainly it's irrelevant that it's election season, so all is good.
