How organisations manage the issue of employee privacy today
Abstract
Tackles how new technology has made monitoring of employees by employers possible. Looks at how the privacy law has attempted to balance two basic interests, as it has developed over the years: employers’ interests in minimising losses and injuries/maximising production; and employees’ interests in being free from intrusion into their private affairs. Lists in depth, the four types of claim that employees have against employers: intrusion; workplace searches; electronic monitoring; and surveillance types of differing areas of privacy abuse. Concludes that both parties have to try to understand the other’s stance, to enable better relations to surface.
