NSW Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 for IT Directors
What does NSW Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 require of a IT Director?
New South Wales law on how employers may watch employees through cameras, computer monitoring and tracking devices: 14 days' written notice, visible cameras and signs, a notified computer surveillance policy, tracking notices on vehicles, no surveillance in change rooms and bathrooms or outside work, rules on blocking email and websites and on using surveillance records, and covert surveillance only under a Magistrate's authority.
