With the implementation of GPS employee tracking companies should make sure that they are not violating employee’s privacy.
If a company keeps the information provided with the monitoring process for their business purposes and is not abusing that information, then legal claims will remain far away from your legal reach.
All in all, the employer should always get their employees informed when they are being monitored. As well as what that can mean to their work.
In general, companies are most commonly monitoring the following points:
- Location;
- Driver activity for business purposes;
- Safety;
So, the number one rule that employers and fleet managers should remember is that under current laws they must notify their employees for any possible GPS monitoring equipment installed on their company vehicles with which they are operating presently.
