As employers increasingly turn to automated tools to monitor and collect information on employees to increase efficiency, assess safety issues, streamline candidate screening and assess performance, federal and state regulators are examining privacy issues unique to such practices.

This second article in a two-part series distilling their insights examines the legal and regulatory landscape applicable to employee privacy and offers compliance considerations. Part one discussed the types of employee data that companies are collecting and how and why they collect it, as well as employees’ concerns and how to navigate them.
