Case Study: A Tech Company's Employee Monitoring Practices

In recent years, there has been a growing concern surrounding the balance between employee privacy and business interests. Let's review a case study to explore how the Charter is applied to certain business practices.

A technology company has implemented employee monitoring practices to ensure productivity and protect confidential information. These practices include monitoring online activities, tracking keyboard activity, and analyzing communication on company phones and laptops. Some employees have expressed upset with the level of surveillance, arguing it infringes on their right to privacy as guaranteed by the Charter.

1. What section of the charter would deal with the above noted scenario?
2. According to the Charter, there must be a violation of an individual's rights. How might the tech company argue that its practices are reasonable and necessary? Conversely, how might employees argue that the extent of surveillance goes beyond what is reasonable?
