Workplace Privacy

Which option best characterizes private-sector workplace monitoring in the United States?

  • A Employers have broad authority to monitor their employees
  • B U.S. federal law restricts monitoring only to industries for which it is necessary
  • C Judgments in private lawsuits have severely limited the monitoring of employees
  • D Most employees are protected from workplace monitoring by the U.S. Constitution
Explanation

Private employers generally retain broad authority to monitor employees and employer-provided workplaces or systems, subject to specific statutory, state-law, and privacy-based limits. Constitutional protections ordinarily require governmental action and therefore do not generally limit a private employer’s monitoring practices.
