Title: Employee Tracking/Monitoring Post by: Red and Proud on Tuesday, March 24, 2015, 19:42:27 Does anyone have a handle on the legalities of your employer tracking and monitoring your movements during the working day while off site/working remotely if you have a company iPhone/iPad?
My mate tells me that he has heard legislation changes in April allowing a company to continuously monitor you in real time while off site without having to notify you if you are in receipt of any company owned electronic devices etc. I know he's as straight as a die and indeed is one of his co's top sales execs but has a real issue with being tracked and monitored.

That's why I purchased one if these to press the escape key every 2 minutes...

That said, I'm supposed to give my MD a monthly update on what my lads get up to - he never asks and I never check. If they're doing their numbers and not bringing the company in to blatant disrepute then who cares?

Title: Re: Employee Tracking/Monitoring Post by: suttonred on Wednesday, March 25, 2015, 12:06:39 I had a delivery from DPD this morning, I could have a live google map of where the driver was and his eta, was Interesting and useful, but damn scary really. 1 minute after delivery the map went blank and said I'd signed for it. All this stuff will end in tears...

All this stuff will end in tears... One of the jobs I had one summer, when I was working my way through Uni, was with ANC (the courier, not the South African political organisation). What made it such a great job was the fact that, if I put myself out and rushed through my deliveries in the morning, I could park up after lunch and doss for a few hours before heading back to the depot. How long before we've all got a GPS chip implanted in us? I fear technology and the modern world...... |
