Document Summary

Chapter 10 privacy inside and outside the workplace: Privacy concerns are currently reflected in legislation to safeguard the privacy of personal information, in recent developments under the common law, and in legal decisions that restrict the admissibility of evidence gained through electronic means. The federal law is called the personal information protection and electronic documents. This developing area of law and the privacy rights that an employee has in any given situation depend on a number of factors. As federal legislation, pipeda does not directly affect general personal employee information held by provincially regulated employers in ontario. Applies to all federally regulated organizations and affects how they collect, use, disclose, and retain personal information concerning their employees, customer, patients, and suppliers. Also applies to all personal information collected, used, or disclosed in provincially regulated organizations in the course of commercial activity unless the province in which the organizations are situated has implemented substantially similar legislation.
