In addition, there are cases where you hardly ever know if the employer is right or the employee.
There is a known case this year, where a woman sued the employer because she was asked to install a GPS tracking device app.
According to the woman’s lawsuit, the employer required to leave the smartphones on so that the employee monitors their off-duty activity.
Consequently, the woman turned off and disabled the GPS from the smartphone to protect her privacy.
In the end, she filed a suit where she claims invasion of privacy, unaccepted business practice.
Even though the employers are using company-owned smartphones, it is still legally a mystery.
Conclusion
When taking a step with GPS tracking device, you need to respect the laws of monitoring regarding the privacy of employees.
Knowing the laws and presenting it to your employees will ease the overall process of tracking.
Further, you need to explain to them that its implementation is not to ruin their privacy in but to raise their productivity instead.
