Ask here for your first consultation without obligation. Hello, in my work, a fast food restaurant has cameras installed in the kitchen. They tell us that they will do weekly camera checks. Is it legal to do that? I work in administration in a pizzeria. The fact is that my boss was very angry with me because I spent 2 or 3 hours doing learning tasks from another company outside of my current job. He told me that he had seen me and heard my (private) conversations about these tasks. And he saw content (which he thought he had deleted) from my documentation. It also contained personal data. I realized that I had done something wrong to do other tasks.
But I take this opportunity to accuse myself of things I did not do or say. He threatened to fire me. So, knowing all this: I knew there was a camera, but on the scene. But not in the office. And what I didn`t know was that there was audio and everything I talked about and my movements were being observed and heard. And he`s been doing it for about three or four months. How is what my boss is doing against me legal? What can I do? Hello, My company is dedicated to the development and assembly of prototype machines in a space dedicated to this purpose. These prototypes must be programmed and the team programming them must do so remotely due to COVID-19. The ability to connect computers to webcams to check if they are working and moving properly has been increased.

Hello, the maintenance work in the facilities and in the different premises are the installation of cameras with video / audio, is it legal?thank you hello my question is that you cameras in a room of a fire installation is legal Acer that? Hello! In my company (a private clinic) they installed surveillance cameras and when I asked one of the bosses if they had audio and could hear our conversations, he replied that they had audio, but that nothing that had been said was understood because it had been very badly heard, I told him I didn`t think it would be good for them. Listening to our private conversations between employees, he told me to shut up because they didn`t know how to do it. He listened carefully. The fact is that the other boss later asked for angry statements about conversations we, the employees, had at work (complaints that they don`t pay us or give us overtime, poor organization, etc.), and he said he went in front of the cameras to hear what we were talking about among the employees. Do you have the right to do that? Dear Emilio: The legality of security cameras has extensive regulatory regulation by the Directorate of Labor (to protect the privacy and intimacy of the worker), which can be summarized that they can not be located in intimate places (bathrooms, changing rooms) or in those where the privacy of the worker can be compromised (in a cabin of a particular worker). In short, the cameras must be located in places accessible to the public or the general workers (entrances, premises, etc.) and must not target a specific worker, in addition to the fact that it is recommended to indicate this in the internal regulations. If these conditions are not met, they can assert the violation of their rights before the labour inspectorate and even before the courts.
