AN insurance worker lost her job after surfing popular social network site Facebook while off sick, her employer said.

The Swiss woman said she could not work in front of a computer as she needed to lie in the dark, but was then seen to be active on Facebook.

Her employer, insurer Nationale Suisse, said in a statement the action had destroyed its trust in the employee.

"This abuse of trust, rather than the activity on Facebook, led to the ending of the work contract," it said.

The unnamed woman told the 20 Minuten daily she had been surfing Facebook in bed on her iPhone and accused her employer of spying on her and other employees by sending a mysterious friend request which allows access to personal online activity.

Nationale Suisse rejected the accusation of spying and said the employee's Facebook activity had been stumbled across by a colleague in November, before use of the social network site was blocked in the company.

Big Brother is watching!!! It's not safe to do anything when you are having a sick day anymore. I make sure I only use Facebook in work hours and never when I'm home sick
