"Private Eyes Are Watching You:  U.S. and International Privacy Laws Relating to Employee Monitoring "

Presented by Fisher Phillips

In a post-COVID world, hybrid and completely remote employees have become increasingly commonplace, with employers struggling to find ways to monitor productivity and availability, ensure the security of confidential data and sensitive personal information, and encourage compliance with legal requirements and employment policies.  Increasingly, employers are exploring remote monitoring options, including monitoring methods such as time tracking and email monitoring, video surveillance, keylogging, application monitoring, geolocation tracking, and the installation of monitoring software on company-issued devices, as well as mobile device management software for personal devices used for business purposes. The legality of the use of such monitoring techniques varies both within the U.S. and internationally.  This session will help employers to identify the commonalities and differences between U.S. and international laws relating to employee monitoring.  

Speakers:

  • Risa B. Boerner, Partner, Fisher Phillips
