Have all employees acknowledge your policy and acknowledge that they submit to the policy. When you do conduct surveillance or searches, do so for a business purpose and in confidence. Workplace surveillance might include the installation of cameras in your office, production facility, or showroom floor. Regardless of what you are monitoring, surveillance should not extend to the restroom or lounge areas of the workplace. And once an employee leaves the workplace, surveillance should end.
Surveillance can be an expensive, time-consuming way to investigate a matter.
If you feel that you must employ it as a tool, consult both legal and technical professionals to help you make the right choices. Also consider whether the actions you will take based on the surveillance justify the expense you will incur. All Rights Reserved.
