Organizations with 25 or more employees as of January 1, 2022, must provide employees with an electronic monitoring policy by November 10, 2022. The Ministry of Labour has published guidelines that set out information and their interpretation of the new law.
Maria McDonald from McDonald HR Law has shared the following with AFHTO to support teams:
- An E-Alert with more fulsome information on the Electronic Monitoring Policy requirements
- A sample policy for teams to use as a template.
- This is very general and only refers to the basic type of monitoring most organizations engage in. If your team already has more specific monitoring practices, that would need to be added to your policy.
Executives are encouraged to do the following:
a. Review the E-Alert
b. Review the guidelines
c. Consider and outline the types of monitoring your organization does
d. Use the sample policy as a template for building your own electronic monitoring policy
