So I looked at the laws for Colorado- my phone call was originally allowed to be recorded- however neither I (even though I thought I had) nor the IT person on the other end actually clicked to end the call. So she continued to record my conversation with my husband after she and I were finished speaking. I got in trouble because I used a profane word during that conversation with him which she reported to my manager

If you have a specific problem with recording a phone call that is not answered by the information in the link, please post back with some details. Thanks.[/QUOTE]

That's too bad. I hope things turn out well for you.

The call was legal. Just because you didn't think to hang up the phone before you continued speaking is your and only your fault.

But I also thought that it was only legal to record a conversation you are a party to- and she was no longer a party to the conversation
That's where I felt she may be at fault as well

I'm still not clear what happened and what your question is.

Okay, let's get at it this way.

In an ideal world where you got exactly what you wanted, what would happen next?

I don't think I was in the wrong enough to get a written warning

So, you're looking for the law that will force the employer to remove the warning from your file?

SHE was in a party to the original phone conversation SHE didn't hang up. That is on her.
