Partner Jennifer Pedevillano was interviewed for the New Haven Biz article, “Watching Workers: Remote Monitoring of employees raises privacy concerns.” Jen provided a legal perspective on the developing trend of electronic monitoring of remote workers. She discussed Connecticut’s employee-monitoring law and considerations for employers and employees alike regarding privacy.
A segment from Jen’s interview is below. The article can be read in full at the New Haven Biz online.
“Employees should be very cognizant of where in the home they’re working and if there are other people at home with them. If a microphone is being used for monitoring, other conversations in the house could be picked up,” Pedevillano said. “So, I think there should be full disclosure by the employer and I think the employee should be cognizant of where they’re working, who’s around and to try to perform their remote work in as private of a location in their home as possible.”
