Can I install cameras in the workplace to discourage employee misconduct?
It depends on where you want to put the cameras, and why. You must have a reasonable basis for monitoring in this manner (to discourage theft from a cash register and enhance the security of customers, for example) and inform your employees of the cameras. Certain areas of the workplace (the bathroom or changing areas, for example) are generally off-limits to this type of monitoring. For more information, see Workplace Searches.
