On Wednesday, September 20, 2023, Kara Maciel and Darius Rohani-Shukla presented a webinar regarding Managing Employee Privacy Rights: Everything You Need to Know.

In the modern workplace, employers must proactively understand and comply with privacy laws that will affect their employees. Failing to do so could result in potentially costly civil litigation, government enforcement actions, and employee trust/ goodwill losses. At present, employee privacy rights are governed by a tricky combination of state and federal laws as well as commonly followed data protection best practices.

Participants in this webinar learned:

• What is the “right to privacy” in the workplace?
• Key workplace privacy issues for employers to consider
  • Handling medical records and personnel files
  • Monitoring employee internet usage and emails
  • Conducting background checks
  • Drug and alcohol testing policies
  • Storing biometric data
  • Drafting employee privacy policies such as bring your own device (BYOD) policies
• • Updates on federal and state privacy laws that affect employers

We are pleased to share these links to a copy of the slides and a recording of the webinar.
