New York will require employers to disclose monitoring to new hires


The law – which takes effect May 7 – requires disclosures to employees hired on or after that date. It applies to phone calls, Internet searches, and online calls conducted through platforms such as Zoom Video Communications Inc. — 123rf.com

Employers in New York must disclose electronic monitoring, such as Internet access and videoconferencing, to new hires under a new law taking effect in May, as workers contend with an employment landscape that’s increasingly dependent on technology.

The new law comes amid a worldwide push for greater privacy protections for consumers and workers, adding compliance obligations for businesses that must contend with general consumer privacy laws and employee-specific statutes.
