New York City Workplace Surveillance Law

New York City's Workplace Surveillance Law requires employers to inform employees if they are being monitored through video cameras, computers, or other surveillance methods. The law aims to protect privacy rights by ensuring transparency about monitoring practices. Employers must provide notice about the type and purpose of surveillance, and generally, they cannot secretly record employees in places where they expect privacy. This legislation seeks to balance workplace safety and productivity with the protection of individual privacy rights in the workplace.
