New legislation requiring employers in Ontario to disclose electronic monitoring in the workplace will increase transparency but does not provide employees with any new privacy right, employment lawyers say.
However, Mackenzie Irwin, a Toronto-based employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumarkin LLP, told CTV's Your Morning on Thursday that one of the main criticisms of the legislation is that it does not provide employees with any new rights at work.
Despite this, she said there could be a lot of pushback from employees once they learn the extent to which this monitoring is occurring. "This will give the government a clearer picture of what employers are doing," McNaughton said Tuesday. "At the heart of it, it's really about keeping employers honest and transparent and creating that open line of communication between an employer and its employees," he said.
