Employment Law Update: Secret Video Surveillance of Employees
The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) held in the case of López Ribalda and Others v. Spain (applications nos. 1874/13 and 8567/13, 17.02.2019) that employees’ right to privacy was not violated when a Spanish supermarket used visible and secret cameras to record public areas of the store when it suspected significant theft by employees.
