Employee Privacy Rights

Employee privacy rights refer to the protections workers have regarding their personal information and privacy in the workplace. This includes limits on employers' abilities to monitor communications, such as emails or phone calls, and access personal records without consent. While employers can set rules for a safe and productive work environment, they must also respect employees' rights to privacy. Certain laws, like the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, help safeguard these rights. Overall, it’s a balance between organizational needs and individual privacy in the labor context.
