Is it legal to video record me at work and watch from your computer at home without telling me?


I work in a laundry area at a hotel. there is hidden cameras. That is not a big deal, but the supervisor watches us on the computer on her days off. the cam is connected to her computer. I live in pa, is it legal?

More details please.

If your employer is recording you in your place of employment, that they own, they are free to continue recording you. They own the property and you work for them so they are free to place any restrictions or other conditions on you as they see fit (so long as they don't break DOL rules/laws). Audio surveillance requires disclosure and in some states consent. The exception would be recording calls for "quality assurance purposes" but this still requires disclosure in most states - if not consent.

Your options are to deal with it or quit.

As long as the cameras are legal, it makes NO difference WHERE of WHEN they are monitored. Report It

More details please....is your employer doing this? Is a friend doing this?

If it is an employer than I think they can. After all it is their business. If it is a public place of business, then anyone can see you and it is not illegal. However, if you work in a place the public is not allowed, then you cannot be watched by the public.

if it is your employer...then yes in most states. If they have any audio recording that is usually not allowed...it is a violation. Most employers have a sign near the entrance that the premises is under video surveillance..that covers them for liability
