Employee Monitoring: Is Privacy in the Workplace?

  Employers want to be sure their employees are doing a good job, but employees don't want their every sneeze or trip to the water cooler logged.  That's the essential conflict of workplace monitoring.

Access to Personnel Files

By
Ethan A. Winning


We receive 10 or more email a month asking what the federal land state laws are regarding access to personnel records.  In the ten years since I've been answering questions through columns or online, my research through BNA, CCH, and other sources has shown that there are no federal laws, but there are 16 states (so far) which have laws or labor codes dictating what the employee can see, copy, and rebut.  (A breakdown by state can be found in our subscriber's section.

Workplace Privacy

  Is your employer spying on you?  Chances are good that your employer is playing Big Brother.  In September, 1996, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) reported that the number of workers subjected to electronic surveillance   increased from approximately 8 million in 1990, to more than 30 million.  According to the TV program  "Are You Being Watched"? aired on the Discovery Channel, it'll be more than 40 million by 2000.

THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU

By

Here's a scary thought. There is technology in place right now that opens virtually every aspect of your life to scrutiny by your employer. The jargon in the academic work that describes this workplace phenomenon is  "panoptic power " -- the ability to see.
  Here's how it works.  Armed with common employment-application information (name, address, phone number, Social Security number), employers and prospective employers can ferret out practically anything they want to know about you.  And they can do it without your knowing or without your permission.  In fact, they may not want you to know.

Case Law Has Yet to Define Workplace Obesity Guidelines

By
Kathy Robertson
April 21, 2003

  Fat is not a physical disability -- at least not in the way federal law sees the condition so far. And because many people see obesity as a lifestyle, not an unchangeable fact of life, obesity isn't graining reaction as a civil rights issue.

  But lawyers and activists for the fat continue to pursue new laws to protect them form discrimination at work.  In California, the trend has produced new safeguards for workers who are overweight due to medical conditions.
