Rules for the GPS Tracking of Employees

Employees who are often on the road may think they have more freedom than the average worker. The decreasing costs of global positioning technologies, both in company vehicles and cellphones, may be changing that, giving employers new ways to keep track of their employees. As a result, concerns over employee privacy are rising.

-Legality of GPS Tracking

GPS tracking devices have been deemed by the courts to be reasonable. The rationale goes like this: Workplace surveillance is completely legal and common. If the workplace is the car or other location, shouldn’t bosses have a way to keep tabs on their employees from afar? However, there are some limits to GPS tracking by employers.

-Drawing Line Between Work and Personal Time

The key to keeping tabs of employees using GPS is to do so only when the employees are supposed to be working. For instance, it’s OK to ask an employee why his cellphone showed that he was at a bar when he was supposed to be delivering documents to a client at his place of work. It’s not OK to track an employee’s whereabouts after work hours if he takes his GPS-enabled device home with him regularly. There should be a legitimate business reason for tracking employees’ movements using GPS technology.

-Company Policies

If your company has a policy on electronic surveillance, tracking of employees via GPS should be in keeping with that policy. Additionally, such a policy should remind workers that GPS-equipped technology provided by the company belongs to the company and are only to be used for work. At the same time, make it clear that the company reserves the right to use GPS in devices provided to workers to keep tabs on them during work hours.
