Is employee monitoring legal in Argentina?
Yes. The Argentine constitution and labor laws (Argentina Employment Contract Act 20,744) allow employers to control certain employees’ activities at the workplace to achieve business objectives. That said, certain precautions must be taken to ensure that they do not infringe on employees’ dignity and privacy rights: Monitoring tools are required to comply with the law. Employers are only required to control the legally authorized activities of employees. Employers must have detailed policies in place regarding the monitoring and use of company property. Employers must notify employees of the existence of any workplace monitoring systems.
