In their bylined article for the Vancouver Business
Journal titled, “What employers need to know before they
record their employees,” Partner Clarence Belnavis and
Associate Margaret Burnham explore important caveats to be aware of
before installing a recording device on the premises. While
employers are generally allowed to record employees in Washington,
there should always be a legitimate business reason to do so.
Clarence and Margaret go through the common questions an
employer might have about recording employees. They discuss the
different rules for audio recording and visual recording and the
legal implications of monitoring an employee. They conclude the
piece by offering four things an employer should do before
installing any recording device.
