For instance, there are states which allow companies to monitor the company-owned vehicles, mobile phones and other devices.
This approach is due to prevent theft and increase safety instead.
By the same token, if a company wants to track the private vehicles or devices of employees, they need to obtain the employee’s permission first.
Companies that consider implementing employee GPS tracking system need to provide advance notice policy to employees.
The notice allows companies determine the legal issues of high probability to arise.
Furthermore, it gives enough time to companies to answer the questions to employees which makes the laws relevant.
For instance, the criminal statute of Illinois forbids electronic device tracking of a person’s location unless it is done by law.
These laws also apply to other states including California, Connecticut, Delaware and Texas as well.
