Can Skype chats be monitored/read by a internal network or sysadmin? Can I company store chats you make in skype and read them? I can't find a clear answer for this on the net. Also, are chat history files in skype encrypted/able to be read by someone without your skype login?
I hear skype is encrypted by default, and all chats and calls are protected, but I have heard people be told that "skype logs are kept and monitored" by their employer. Is this possible?

The initial problem of detecting Skype is in itself a rather difficult one.
Skype, is it right for you? has description and paper references to the problem.
Final notes from that link (which is a good read).
Once you figure out Skype is active, intercepting the traffic is a much more complicated problem.
