Example of Employee Monitoring with GPS Tracking Device
According to a state’s law, you cannot use a GPS tracking device if the employee owns the vehicle.
moreover, according to a New York state court, this is unreasonable because it means falsifying the time records.
According to the laws, you need to be very careful what vehicles you monitor and whether you monitor them during business hours.
Monitoring employees during business hours only is law obligatory, otherwise, every action is unconstitutional.
On the other hand, there are the taxi drivers who do not consider GPS tracking as a privacy violation.
This is an example of New York City taxi drivers having GPS tracker for cars even though they own the vehicles.
In the end, a law exists to obey it, and regarding the employee’s privacy, it is probably a matter of their owns claims. In each case, you need to be very careful as a company owner.
