Question: We plan to install security cameras in the production area of our nonunion food packaging facility because of an increase in damaged product and safety incidents. Can we post signs at all entrances stating surveillance cameras are in use, or do we need to have each employee sign a waiver?
Answer: Generally, you may monitor most areas of the workplace as long as you notify employees in advance that you have recording devices and/or video cameras installed in public areas. That’s necessary to ensure workers have no expectation of privacy.
