Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employees have limited rights to privacy in the workplace. While employees still have some expectation of privacy in the workplace, it is not an absolute right. Employers have the right to monitor employee activities and communications to a certain extent, particularly if it is for a legitimate business purpose such as ensuring productivity or maintaining security. However, employers must also balance this with the privacy rights of their employees and cannot engage in arbitrary or overly intrusive monitoring practices. The Privacy Protection Act of 1974 mainly applies to government agencies and does not necessarily provide strong privacy protections for private sector employees.
