Even before I got my security clearance, it was always in my employment agreement that my employer may monitor my communications while at work. Is notification the same as consent under these circumstances?



Well, if it's in the employment contact, which you agreed to and signed, it's not 'notification', you agreed to that term.


Going back to the mid-90s every company I worked for had a computer use policy which I had to sign as part of onboarding. These always included a section regarding monitoring and that signing the policy was agreeing to the monitoring. This included small businesses up to large global enterprises.
