privacy law advocate l.d.a.

When it comes to the work place there is very little an employer can not monitor about the employee. Unless it is being done in the bathroom, an employee can pretty much figure it is or can be monitored by their boss.  It  is good to know your rights, or lack there of when considering a job. Some employers attempt to use their rights of monitoring to establish cases for dismissal against difficult employees  in an attempt to revoke the employee’s benefits upon leaving. An employee may be on the phone, using a computer, talking to a co-worker, no matter the action an employer generally has the right to retrieve phone records, search hard drives and record audibly and visually most aspects of an employee’s day at the office. Check out the following list of specific laws regulating the work place in California.
