Analyze the privacy rights of employees in workplaces not governed by general privacy legislation.

1. A Toronto law firm has decided to implement finger-scanning technology as a way to monitor the location (and productivity) of its support staff, who are non-union. It announces that, from now on, all support staff will have to scan their fingerprints whenever they leave their workstation. One of the administrative assistants asks you whether this is legal in Ontario.
   1. Based on your knowledge of the different legal sources of workplace privacy protection in Canadian law, how would you advise her?
   2. May an employer legally search an employee's locked desk at work without that employee's consent? (Assume this is a provincially regulated private sector workplace in Ontario.)
