Many Ontario employers will have to set up 'electronic monitoring' policies soon. Here's what that means for workers
In April, Ontario became the first province to pass a new transparency law, as part of the Working for Workers Act, requiring companies with 25 or more workers to create a written policy clearly outlining whether employee use of computers, cellphones, GPS systems and other electronic devices is being tracked, and if so, to what extent.
As of Tuesday, those policies need to be in place. Within 30 days, that information needs to be disclosed to staff.In May, Howard Alan Levitt, an employment lawyer and senior partner with the firm Levitt Sheikh, told CTVNews.ca the new policy won’t change whether your employer is monitoring you – they are now just required to communicate that information.
