Are employers allowed to record telephone conversations without the knowledge of their staff?
Answers:
It varies by state. Some states only one person has to be aware of the taping, in others every person has to know they are being recorded. Before you make any quick decisions about filing a lawsuit contact a lawyer in your hometown and they'll be able to tell you the exact statutes in your state.
NO!! your only allowed to record a conversation if one of the two parties is aware!
If the staff is using a company phone then the company can listen in or record the conversations. There is no expectation of privacy.
yes
Yes if the phone is company property and it is a personal call, they may do so without your consent
there you go, without the knowledge of the staff. i guess without the knowledge of the staff they can do whatever they want..who would know?
That is consider illegal wire taping and can be a criminal offense
I would guess it depends on the reason! If regarding a criminal offence they would probably need to get some form of permission. As others say, if it is a company phone and the company are paying for the call .. well i guess they can? A friend worked for a company who used to read her e-mails! Let it be a warning to us all!!!!! BIG BROTHER
yes,he or she can. he or she want to protect his company and make sure you r hire to work.business owner r in for the money. imagine if you hire someone to work but this person is too busy chatting with friends and his or her work was never done.your company would go broke
Yes, they are in the UK, but a good employer would make their policy on this clear to employees.
