Warner Norcross + Judd LLP Partner Allyson Terpsma wrote an article for the Grand Rapids Business Journal titled “Employee surveillance software can be effective when used properly.”In the article, Terpsma discusses the various types of monitoring software programs to track how employees spend their day – and the legal issues that can arise when using these programs.

core/paragraph

Post-COVID, many employees continue to work remotely. Therefore employers have been stepping up measures to ensure productivity. But employers that use surveillance software programs improperly can run afoul of privacy, wage-hour and workplace safety laws.

In the article, Terpsma provides guidelines for the appropriate use of surveillance software to support performance management and help prevent data theft, confidentiality breaches, cyberbullying and harassment.
