Monitoring Employees

I. Introduction

Employers are, within the scope of their managerial right, obliged to preserve the order in workplace and in consideration of that, employees are obliged to work diligently due to the duty of loyalty. In that respect, employers have the right to request from employees to abstain from spending non-work-related time in the workplace. Then again, employers' practices to that end cannot violate the right of privacy and freedom of communication. In order to avert such practices causing violations in that respect, certain stipulations are introduced, through the legislation and the precedents of Court of Appeals' to restrict employers' right to monitor employees. This article will examine such and its boundaries.
