Ontario Requiring Employers to Disclose Electronic Monitoring
Proposed changes would require large employers to tell their workers if, how and why they are being monitored.
The Ontario government is working for workers and plans to introduce new legislation later this month that would require employers to tell their workers if and how they are being monitored electronically. If passed, Ontario would become the first province to require electronic monitoring policies and protect workers’ privacy by requiring employers be transparent on how employees’ use of computers, cell phones, GPS systems and other electronic devices are being tracked.
