Employee notice and the law
Why the app asks you to confirm that staff have been given notice, what the template covers, and what the app deliberately does not do.
Why does the app ask me to confirm employee notice?
Several US states (for example Connecticut, Delaware and New York) and Canadian provinces (Alberta and British Columbia under their PIPAs, and federally under PIPEDA) require employers to give staff prior written notice of electronic monitoring, and some require the notice to name the locations monitored. That obligation belongs to you as the employer. The app includes a template and asks you to confirm notice has been given so you do not overlook it.
Where is the template?
In the app under Legal → Employee notice template, and linked from Settings. Adapt it to your business and jurisdiction; have it reviewed by your own adviser if you are unsure.
Does an alert mean an employee did something wrong?
No. An alert means a transaction fell outside a range you set. Every rule has ordinary explanations, and the app never determines why a pattern happened. Reviewing the transactions, speaking with the people involved and deciding what, if anything, to do is your responsibility as the employer.
Can I use alerts in a dispute or legal matter?
Alerts describe transaction records and cannot be altered after they are created, which some businesses find useful when documenting a review. Whether they are appropriate for any proceeding is a question for you and your adviser; the app makes no representation about that.
Does the app compare my staff with other businesses?
Never. Every comparison is between your own employees. The app holds no cross-business data and is built so that it cannot.
