Office installation monitoring disputes

In recent years, with the rapid development of security, many corporate units have installed monitoring equipment in the employees’ offices. When employees walk into the office, they feel superstitious. They feel uncomfortable when speaking and talking. They are very opinionated. Big.

In the past, people were monitoring devices and now people are being monitored by devices. What makes employees feel embarrassed is that although everyone is working hard, it is inevitable that there are still some minor actions like nose-blowing, tickling and the like. Sometimes they are seen by curious people and are often talked about and ridiculed. On the other hand, I feel very awkward. We all have very great opinions.

In this regard, some corporate staff said that the installation of monitoring is not to monitor the private life of employees, but to facilitate work. The relevant legal department stated that the country has no specific law to delineate the camera and video settings. The employer’s installation of the camera at the office does not in itself constitute an infringement of the employee's right to privacy. Employers are free to use the camera. In addition, there are certain restrictions on the installation of cameras: First, the installation of monitoring equipment should be clearly informed to employees, if not indicated, there is suspicion of infringement of privacy. Secondly, monitoring should be limited to workplaces and working hours. The content of monitoring should be limited to the business operations of the company. For example, toilets and other private places cannot be set. Otherwise, it is infringement. Third, the employer has strict confidentiality obligations for the personal privacy information of the monitored employees and must not disclose it at will. Finally, it needs to be emphasized that in addition to ensuring the security of property, it is not advisable to install cameras in the office area as a management tool.
