Court win for man fired after turning webcam off
Increased monitoring- including the use of AI to monitor workers - had taken off during the pandemic and was "spiralling out of control".
But he said there was not a simple answer to whether any particular monitoring infringed on an employee's privacy in the UK. "Merely imposing an intrusive monitoring regime for no good reason, especially if monitoring takes place in areas or the workspace where employees could have a reasonable expectation of privacy, is not".The employee in the case in the Netherlands had been working for Chetu since 2019, when in August he was asked to participate in a "Corrective Action Program - Virtual Classroom" during which his webcam was to be kept on.
In response to the employee's objections, Chetu argued that this was no different from an employee being observed in an office environment.
