Ontario employers with 25 or more employees are now required to have an electronic monitoring policy. The legislation is provoking debate about tracking workers across Canada.
Starting on Tuesday, Ontario employers with 25 or more employees will be required to have an electronic monitoring policy. It's part of the Working for Workers Act, and it makes the province the only one in Canada with legislation on employee monitoring.
"It's technically like being spied on. So it's within your rights to know if it's happening," Chowdhury said. The Ontario legislation applies to all employees using company-issued devices — whether the employer is tracking the GPS of a delivery truck driver or the emails of an office worker. But she said there is more work to be done because the legislation doesn't actually give employees any new rights to privacy or do much to discourage employers from overly intrusive monitoring. Still, Irwin said she expects employees to take a stand if they feel uncomfortable once they find out how much they are being monitored.
