Each month, our Advocacy Committee answers your questions about the AD 10 policies (aka, your terms and conditions of employment.) Here is the Advocacy Committee Chair, Wanda Dekleva, to answer some of your questions about workplace issues.
Business owners and employees alike feel that employee tracking software is intrusive, but purchasing this type of software has grown over the past year due to COVID. Although employers have found that employees can get their work completed while not physically in the office, many companies still want evidence of high productivity. Is it legal to use monitoring software for employees? In Canada, as long as the employer fully informs staff that monitoring software is in place and how it works, they can legally monitor their employees.
