How legal are video surveillance cameras with sound recording in the workplace?
Article 32 of the Constitution of Ukraine states that no one can be subjected to interference in his personal and family life, except for the cases provided for by the Constitution of Ukraine.
It follows from these requirements of the legislation that video surveillance of employees at the workplace is possible only with the consent of the person to conduct it. Otherwise, it is illegal.
It should also be taken into account that, when getting a job or already working in a certain position, an employee has the right to full and reliable information about working conditions and requirements at the workplace (Article 29 of the Labor Code), which can also include methods of control over his production activities.
