Employee Surveillance Rights

Employee surveillance rights refer to the legal protections that govern how employers can monitor their employees in the workplace. Generally, employers can track activities like phone calls, emails, and internet usage, but they must inform employees about surveillance practices. Privacy rights laws limit invasive monitoring, ensuring that employees have reasonable expectations of privacy. In essence, while employers can oversee work activities to some degree, they must balance this with respect for employees’ privacy, adhering to regulations and company policies to avoid infringing on individual rights.
