Electronic Monitoring of Employees
November 1, 2022
As of October 11, 2022, employers with 25 or more employees are required to have a written policy on the electronic monitoring of employees.
The policy must establish whether the employer engages in electronic monitoring of employees, and if so, how.
The policy must also describe in which circumstances monitoring occurs, and for what purpose the information obtained through electronic monitoring may be used.
Employers are to provide the policy to staff within 30 days of starting in their position, within 30 days of policy in place, and within 30 days of any changes to the policy.
The policy, however, does not:
- Establish a right for employees not to be electronically monitored by their employer, nor;
- Create any new privacy rights for employees.
