Limitations on Employees surveillance

In certain cases, employees are able to pursue state and federal wiretap statutory remedies, within limits, against employers that monitor their employees' communications. In 1968, Congress enacted the federal wiretap statute, which imposes criminal liability on the use of technology to intercept and record telephone calls. The statute also provides a private right-of-action to employees who discover that their telephone calls are being monitored or recorded in violation of the statute.
