Cameras in the workplace
What does the term mean
Specific camera mode if the footage touches employees (higher sensitivity and purpose limitation).
Cameras in the workplace are legally sensitive: property protection in itself is not an automatic “pass” for monitoring people at work. You have to have a legitimate reason, minimize exposure, and it can't slide into performance control.
Typical errors
- shot directly to the desk / cash register by evaluating the performance,
- audio recording (mostly indefensible),
- unclear information to employees and missing documentation.
