Workplace Surveillance Laws

Workplace surveillance laws govern how employers monitor their employees' activities, such as through video cameras, phone calls, or computer usage. These laws vary by country and state, typically allowing employers to surveil for safety and productivity reasons. However, they must also respect employees' rights to privacy. Generally, employers are required to inform employees if surveillance is taking place and may need to justify its necessity. Balancing security and privacy is key, ensuring that monitoring is done fairly and transparently without infringing on personal rights.
