What are the rules on workplace surveillance?

that could track where warehouse employees were placing their hands. Amazon said the idea, if implemented, would be to help track products and free up employees hands from scanners.Personal data - information about someone who is identified - is protected under the Data Protection Act.

Employment lawyer Max Winthrop says transparency is key. If an employer is using data gathered from monitoring workers - for example to find out how productive they are - as the basis for disciplinary action, this should be in the employees' contracts. For example, tracking the location of company property, such as vehicles, laptops and phones was considered unacceptable by fewer than a quarter of those surveyed.

They should take a look at landg_uk Birmingham office, staff are monitored and tracked throughout the building.

This couldn’t happen in Germany - yet we blame the EU for all ills - another example of the Uk driving to the lowest denominator

1st off you can’t set up an effective team by setting the cultural tone in distrustful relations, your team will die before you have a chance to develop their abilities and team interchange. The employee is hired by predetermining their suitability to the position requirements...

No upskirting apparently

Nobody wants to deal with takers. Nobody likes murderers that break in and enter, swapping innocent with guilty. Nobody is interested people starting smear campaign including false news like money laundering and other unspeakable.
