ELECTRONIC MONITORING
WDLT will not use any electronic surveillance device or system to record or monitor
employees in areas designed for the health or personal comfort of employees or for
safeguarding of their possessions, such as restrooms, locker rooms, or lounges.
Notice to employees of this policy will be disclosed in accordance with all applicable
state regulations.
Recording of In-Person Meetings and Telephone Conversations
WDLT has developed this policy to protect the confidentiality of the sensitive
information in our possession concerning our employees and the Individuals we
serve, and our confidential business information (e.g., our confidential processes,
techniques, and systems, and business plans). In addition, the unauthorized
electronic audio and/or video recording of meetings and/or telephone conversations
by employees, as well as the unauthorized taking of photographs, during working
time or working areas (including the use of a personal cell phone, smartphone, or
other electronic device), is counter-productive to employee morale and inconsistent
with the respectful treatment required of our managers and staff. For this reason,
managers and staff alike are asked not to record the conversation of, or meeting with,
or take photographs of, another member of staff without their knowledge and
consent.
When recording an in-person or telephone conversation, the following guidelines
should be followed:
Advise the other party a recording is taking place
There should be a legitimate business purpose for the recording
Use of Recordable Glasses in the Workplace
Given our commitment to supporting and protecting the privacy, dignity, and safety
of the Individuals we serve, the use of recordable glasses (e.g., smart glasses with
video and/or audio recording capabilities) in the workplace is subject to the following
guidelines:
Prohibition Without Authorization: Employees are prohibited from wearing or
using recordable glasses in the workplace unless prior written approval has been
obtained from management. Unauthorized use may lead to disciplinary action
Privacy and Confidentiality:
Use of recordable glasses must not violate other terms set forth in this policy.
For example, such glasses may not be used in areas designed for the health or
personal comfort of employees or for safeguarding of their possessions, such
as restrooms, and may not be used in someone’s personal office without their
consent, or any area where confidentiality is expected
